Does anyone know the difference between power valve for Srx and Viper?
If there’s a difference in length,how much?
Best regards Magnus
 

Yes difference in the length and not interchangeable. I cant remember the actual number...I could measure them if you really need it.
 
Thank you for your answer. It would help me a lot if you could measure the difference.
Best regards Magnus
 
I've wondered this myself,just how much longer are the Viper ones.I know used SRX ones are hard to find but it seems Viper ones are everywhere and maybe a machinist could cut them down to fit the SRX cylinder.I know they wouldn't be coated any more but at least you'd have a valve that fits.

I didn't bother measuring them. As you can see there are three major differences.
1) Body length
2) Radius on working end
3) Thickness of the round section

Not impossible to retrofit viper to srx but would take some work...welding etc
 
fwiw - The 2002 Tech Update Manual had a couple side y side drawings of the exhaust port and runners, and how the valves sit. It also included the measurements of the shaft but not the blades. I did see the blade measurements somewhere, but couldn't find them. Page 2-53.

The Viper runner is more vertical and thus the bevel is less pronounced.

The Viper was touted as being more compact to enhance performance and reduce weight.... I am still trying to see that LOL
