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.
