What size valves are in 706 heads?
1.89/1.55 valve
See all 18 photos The smallest of the bunch, the 5.3L 706 (and 4.8L) heads featured a 1.89/1.55 valve combination and a 61.5cc chamber volume.
How do you measure engine valve size?
Measure the valve flow diameter at the outer edge of the valve seat with dial calipers. If this is not possible, you can estimate it by subtracting 0.040 inch from overall diameter or by multiplying valve diameter by 0.98.
Are 706 heads the same as 243 heads?
706 heads tend to be more popular than 243 heads with those who run naturally aspirated engines. While they don’t have the same size combustion chamber they also don’t have the tendency to lower the compression ratio and reduce horsepower.
What’s the difference between 706 heads and 862 heads?
The 862 heads are virtually identical to 706 heads in most ways. They have the same valve size, port, and chamber cores. The difference lies in their compression ratio and make. While 862 heads are sand cast, 706 heads are semi-permanent mold.
What are 706 heads off of?
See all 5 photos 706 heads can be found on scores of 1999 and up GM 5.3L and 4.8L engines.
How is valve CV calculation?
The volume flow rate for liquids can be calculated by multiplying the fluid velocity times the flow area. Thus, Cv is numerically equal to the number of U.S. gallons of water at 60°F that will flow through the valve in one minute when the pressure differential across the valve is one pound per square inch.
Are Chevy 706 heads any good?
Chevy 706 LS Heads are high-performing cylinder heads that offer enormous power at an incredible price. They are the most affordable and most effective remanufactured cylinder heads that can be used for a 4.8L, 5.3L, and even 6.0L LS engine build.
Are LS 706 heads good?
How do you choose valves?
Choose the right valve type. Every valve needs to perform one or more basic functions: Shut off flow. Divert flow….Knowing where to start makes valve choice faster and easier

- Materials of construction.
- Performance requirements.
- Check valve specific requirements.
- Maintenance planning.
