Skunk2 Alpha Series Valves are engineered for performance and reliability in Honda B-Series VTEC engines, specifically the B16, B17, and B18C. Manufactured from premium one-piece HNV-3 martensitic steel for intake and EV8 austenitic steel for exhaust, these valves undergo proprietary heat treatment and hard chrome plating for superior strength, reduced friction, and increased corrosion resistance.
Designed in-house by Skunk2 using advanced flow analysis and real-world testing, Alpha Series valves feature optimized head profiles that enhance airflow and combustion efficiency while offering 3–10g weight reduction over stock valves. Whether for street or competition use, they deliver exceptional sealing, stability, and durability under high RPM conditions.
