€195.84 (tax incl.) -20%

Set of 4 reinforced inlet valves for PEUGEOT and CITROËN TU5JP and TU5J2 (106, 206, 306, Saxo, Xsara, Xsara Picasso).

Brand: CATCAMS
Engines: TU5JP, TU5J2 (1.6 8V)
Dimensions: 39.3 mm head, 7 mm stem, 111.5 mm length

PEUGEOT and CITROËN engines covered

The TU5JP and TU5J2 are the 8 valve versions of the PSA TU5 1.6 litre four, with a single overhead camshaft. From 1993 to 2010 they power the Peugeot 106, 206 and 306 and the Citroën Saxo, Xsara and Xsara Picasso, from 88 to 103 hp.

Each cylinder has just one inlet valve, four for the engine, with a 7 mm stem. Tuning for rally or slalom, with more revs and sharper camshafts, wears them out much faster than everyday use.

CATCAMS reinforced inlet valves

On this two valve per cylinder engine, the inlet valve opens under the push of the cam to let the mixture through, then closes by striking its seat while the stem moves back and forth in the guide. It works between 400 and 550 °C, temperatures at which a common chrome-silicon steel keeps only 500 MPa at 500 °C and falls towards 250 MPa at 600 °C, a 50 % drop. More revs or harder springs add to these loads.

For these engines CATCAMS makes the 9249008M, offered here in a pack of 4 that fills the whole head: 39.3 mm head, 7 mm stem and 111.5 mm length.
