Zimmerman is our X2 product manager and this valvetrain veteran has more than a quarter of a century of experience in the racing industry.

Rent Time on a SpinTron Valvetrain Test Machine at CV Products

CV Products —  January 4, 2013 | Category: Valvetrain Components | Comment

Used to be a time when, if you wanted to fiddle with the pushrods on your racecar engine or conduct a valvetrain test, it was pretty much an exercise in trial and error. And because you can’t visually inspect the inside of your engine without X-ray vision, these tests ended up being more error than trial.

But with the advent of the SpinTron valvetrain testing machine — along with the accompanying technical support to operate and interpret data — CV Products’ racing parts warehouse offers customers the ability to “see” inside your engine while it’s running at a full range of rpm values.

That’s something you won’t get from other providers of high-performance racing parts and accessories. To be able to identify, document and record vital characteristics of your valvetrain — and do so precisely — offers you the opportunity to correct valvetrain incidents, which of course leads to better performance and longer engine life.

There are only about 100 SpinTron machines in operation in race shops throughout the United States today, and CV Products is proud to announce that we own one of these wonders. And now we’re renting it out to you — our customers.

The SpinTron, which first emerged just two decades ago, uses a powerful AC electric motor to spin the crankshaft and valvetrain of a racecar engine. A laser camera is employed to track the Continue reading…

Announcing a Discount on Xceldyne Retainers and PSI Springs

CV Products —  September 25, 2012 | Category: Sales and Special Offers, Valvetrain Components | Comment

Xceldyne RetainersWe here at CV Products aren’t in the habit of offering discounts on our retainer/spring combo, but we thought about it some and found a soft spot in our hearts, prompting us to offer 10 percent off these sought after Xceldyne retainers and PSI springs. The deal is good through the first day of October — which is next Monday. So if you’ve been thinking about scooping up some of these products, the time to act is yesterday!

These particular high-tech parts from both Xceldyne — our in-house brand of valvetrain components — and PSI, are instrumental in building high-performance racing engines, and the 10 percent discount is only available by entering rscombo10 in the Note area when purchasing on our website (or you can mention rscombo10 when placing an order by phone at 1-800-448-1223).

Our Xceldyne Valvetrain System features 8° titanium valve locks and titanium spring retainers in order for both to be properly seated to the valve stem and not rotate freely when pulled together. A proper fit for these three components ensures the strength and durability of your valvetrain. As a result, the Xceldyne 8° configuration is quickly becoming the top choice of engine builders.

Xceldyne valvetrain components feature manufactured locks and retainers that are designed to fit like a glove with our titanium valves, providing a match that we readily stake our reputation on as being the strongest, most reliable valvetrain system for any race application you might have in mind.

Our titanium retainers are CNC-machined to provide among the highest Continue reading…
