KPMI Valves
Black Diamond
KPMI Black Diamond one pieced forged stainless steel valves are impregnated by a special German process to improve wear properties and reduce friction. This process provides resistance to corrosion and wear that is superior to that of hard chromium and electrolysis nickel plating.

KPMI Guides
C630 bronze guides
C630 is a blend of copper, nickel, and aluminum. The high copper content gives excellent thermal qualities, the nickel makes the guide tough and wear resistant, and the aluminum brings work hardening characteristics. This bronze alloy allows for tighter clearances than other materials, creating better valve and seat sealing, as well as superior oil control. The expansion qualities of C630 bronze make it especially compatible with aluminum cylinder heads.
