G&S Valves Ltd has been serving the automotive and motorcycle industries since 1946, earning the reputation of one of the highest-quality valve manufacturers worldwide. This exhaust valve is suitable fitment for the Triumph 5TA and T100 500cc unit-construction twin-cylinder models from 1959-1966.
The V188 replacement exhaust valves from G&S are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel to original specifications and have a head diameter of 1.312″, stem diameter of .310″, with an overall length of 3.490″. Made in the UK.
Exhaust valves allow the expulsion of the combustion gases from the combustion chamber when opened. It’s critical the valve seats and valve faces make a seal when the valves are closed to maximize compression. The valve stems must have the correct clearance within the valve guides to be properly lubricated and dissipate heat.
The cylinder head must be removed from the engine to access the valvetrain. A valve spring compressor is employed to compress the springs far enough to remove the retaining collets from the top collars. Once fitted into the valve guides, the replacement valves will require “lapping-in” to the valve seats. Refer to the factory workshop manual for the complete instructions. Replacing valves is a multi-step procedure and may be best done by a professional machinist.
