Hi Folks,

Does anyone out there know what is the maximum size intake valve that the HD SE 22864-00 Forged piston valve pocket can accommodate? TIA

Most pistons are good for more valve than you can possible place into a cylinder head. Meaning your head limit would be about 2.05 intake and 1.7 exhaust. You can measure your piston top with verniers...measure the valve relief diameter for each intake and exhaust.
