  • Ford engines covered

    The 2.5 turbo 20-valve five-cylinder of the second generation Ford Focus ST and RS (codes HYDA and JZDA) derives from the B5254T.

    It has 10 exhaust valves, two per cylinder. The reinforced valves have a 5.95 mm stem, a 103.3 mm length and three grooves, with a 27 mm head or a 28 mm head at +1 mm.

    SUPERTECH reinforced exhaust valves

    With the turbo on boost, the head of an exhaust valve passes 1,000 °C, against 760 to 870 °C on a naturally aspirated engine. The seat removes about 75 % of it, the guide about 20 %. EV8 family steel, taken as the reference for the original, goes from 550 MPa at 600 °C to 300 MPa at 800 °C: the overheated head fatigues, distorts and loses its seal.

    Both part numbers are Inconel, a nickel-based superalloy that keeps 860 MPa at 732 °C and 554 MPa at 816 °C, about 85 % more than EV8 steel around 800 °C: the right material for a five-cylinder running higher boost.

    The FEVI-1046T-10 takes the head to 28 mm (+1 mm): burnt gases leave faster, provided the 10 exhaust seats are machined to that diameter.

    Both part numbers have three grooves ("Triple Groove"): check before reassembly that the collets match.

    The FEVI-1045T-10 fits reground seats; the FEVI-1046T-10 needs seats machined to 28 mm.

    Both sets have the same 5.95 mm stem and the same 103.3 mm length.

    When reinforced valves become necessary

    • Higher boost pressure (Inconel version recommended)
    • Larger turbo
    • More aggressive camshafts
    • Track use
    • Cylinder head rebuild with worn exhaust valves

    Important: one set of 10 covers a complete engine. The Volvo five-cylinders are covered on a separate Volvo page.

    Don't forget the inlet valves

    An open Focus ST or RS cylinder head is also the time to replace the inlet valves and the valve stem seals.
