BTR CANTED VALVE LS CYLINDER HEAD - LS1 6 BOLT - CNC PORTED - BARE - EACH - BTR-CVH1C-6U

What happens when you combine two lifetimes of cylinder head research and development? The BTR CV cylinder head for LS! When you have a cylinder head casting legend like Rick Smith on board (Father of the Hi-Port, A460, Twisted Wedge and more!) and decades of Brian Tooley's porting & cylinder head flow bench experience, you end up with serious game-changing performance!

There’s no other low-cost premium cast all-American canted-valve LS cylinder head on the market! By rotating the intake 5° and exhaust 3°, we’ve seen over 360+ CFM of intake flow… at only .650” lift with our in-house port program! We put NASCAR-proven canted valve tech into the LS head and made it attainable. These heads use regular Gen 3 & 4 LS1 pedestal type rockers & bolts, valve covers & manifolding… and use Gen V LT valves, spark plugs and valve spring packages to make building them out EASY with OEM-compatible parts! If you have a street machine or a racing class that allows a canted valve head, this is the advantage you’ve been waiting for.

This cylinder head ships fully machined and CNC ported with finished valve guides and seats installed. LT1 type valves, springs & valve spring hardware are not included. You can elect to use OEM-type LT1 valves, or we offer LT4 Ti Intake & L8T Inconel exhaust valves as an upgrade for higher RPM / severe duty.

INSTALLATION NOTES – Uses LS1 rocker bolts. M10x1.5 Accessory hole commonly used for dipstick is shallower than OEM to prevent water jacket intrusion, please check your dipstick bolt prior to final assembly. Like many aftermarket heads, a sealant will be required on intake rocker bolt threads that intersect the port. ALWAYS VERIFY NEVER ASSUME all engine clearances before final assembly. C5/C6 Corvette alternator brackets WILL require minor clearancing to bolt flush to the engine. Due to the outer dimensions of most aftermarket cylinder head castings being slightly different than OEM, some bracket or manifold clearancing may be needed for some applications. Test fit all manifolds and brackets before installation. Coolant port holes on ends of cylinder heads are -12 ORB.
