Hey guys

Any chance this thread can be ammended into two. Im a bit confused which parts are in respect of oversize valves in the 3sgte head and wat comments are re a 3sge conversion...to me two options but seperate discussions needed????

Mat, I think Steve mentioned the 3S-GE valves in the context of the 3S-GTE because he thought you may be able to use them on the 3S-GTE head and get a bigger performance gain. I'm not convinced myself. You only have to compare the dimensions to see there is a lot of work involved.

There is a similar debate over 3S-GE vs 3S-GTE cam profiles in a Gen3 3S-GTE engine but I'd better not stray off topic on this thread

but is the expected modification to length a ferrea 3sgte issue and valve guide issue...

Ive different guides but im concearned i will need to made adjustments...but cant follow the thread

Why would ferrea do custom valves for the car that dont fit????

Dont forget all the Ferrea kit is for either Gen 1 or 2 3S-GTE as its all US Market which didn't get the Gen3. It is my understanding that JEMS have modified the Ferrea valves for Adrians 3S-GTE in the new Celica but I believe they are using standard valves not O/S ones. I will be talking to Jon early next week when he is back from his hols as I want to go O/S myself. I'll let you know the outcome if thats any help?

That would be brilliant thankyou. Im sure all will be checked and measured anyway..im just looking to find any known issues that i can inform parties of if these are such.

Also my confusion came from thinking stvev was talking about mating a 3sge head to a 3sgte block to obtain larger valves...my mistake
