Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment for Shindy valves is very specific to make, model, engine size, and year. You’ll need to cross‑reference Shindy 07-031 against the manufacturer’s catalog or a retailer’s fitment tool using your exact year/make/model/engine code.
With most replacement valves, the valve seats should be inspected and usually cut or recut by a machine shop to ensure proper sealing and geometry. Always follow the OEM service manual and the recommendations of a qualified engine builder.
On almost all motorcycle/ATV engines, proper valve replacement requires removing the cylinder head to access valve springs, retainers, seals, and seats. On‑engine valve replacement methods are generally not appropriate for powersports engines.
Yes, valve stem seals are normally replaced any time valves are changed or the head is rebuilt. Reusing old seals can lead to oil consumption and smoking.
If these valves are direct OEM‑equivalent replacements and the engine is in good condition, performance should match stock. Performance changes typically come from different valve sizes, materials, or porting, not from standard‑replacement valve sets.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- service manual for the specific vehicle
- metric socket set
- torque wrench
- valve spring compressor
- feeler gauges
- micrometer or caliper (for checking valve stem and guide clearance)
- magnet pick-up tool
- cleaning solvent and shop towels
Pro Tips
- Work on a completely cold engine and follow the OEM service manual step-by-step
- Take photos during disassembly so you can confirm cam timing and part orientation later
- Replace valve stem seals, head gasket, and related sealing washers while you are in the top end
- Lap valves only if the OEM manual allows it and you know the proper technique; otherwise rely on a professional valve job
- Rotate the engine by hand several revolutions and re-check cam timing before first start
- After first heat cycle, re-check valve clearances if the service manual recommends it
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not labeling or tracking original valve locations, shims, and buckets
- Reusing old valve stem seals when they should be replaced
- Incorrect valve lash adjustment on reassembly
- Failing to clean carbon deposits from the combustion chamber, valve seats, and ports
- Not using a torque wrench on cam caps and head fasteners
- Skipping a leak-down or compression check after installation
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Shindy valve sets are typically designed as OEM‑equivalent replacements, aiming to match original dimensions and function at a more affordable price point.
Improvements
- Potential cost savings versus OEM parts
- Availability for older or discontinued models where OEM valves may be hard to source
Considerations
- Always verify material type (e.g., stainless vs. OEM material) and any required seat work with a professional engine builder.
- Use only with correct seat preparation and valve clearances to achieve OEM‑level reliability.
