I have a friend that is having some head work done on his 5.3 heads and the guy that is doing it is having a hard time finding the valves. He says everyone he talks to says they gave to custom make valves that size. I was under that impression that that was a common size for replacement valves on the 5.7 and 5.3 heads. His truck is currently out of commission till the heads get done so any help to get it back on the road would be much appriciated.

 

Ferrea, REV, Manley and others do make a valve in those sizes or close to those sizes.

Thanks guys, we ended up getting the Ferrea valves in a 2.02 and 1.60. I never found a 1.57 exhaust though. All the exhaust valves I found were either 1.55, 1.56 or 1.60.
