quality, PERFORMANCE, customisation
Welcome to Woods Engineering, where we design & manufacture precision parts.
Our Services
Our valves are precision engineered to suit each application, with custom profiles designed to match your exact requirements. Each valve is manufactured from a single piece 21-4N premium steel forging using CNC machinery, and is available in a range of stem sizes.
We take pride in producing some of the highest quality engine valves in Australia.
Key variables such as valve length, margin thickness, valve head size, dishing, undercutting valve stem, can all be tailored to your needs (subject to valve blank parameters).
Additional processes such as hard tipping and tuffttriding are available, increasing valve durability.
We also offer modification of existing off-the-shelf valves.
Our custom valves are suited to a wide range of applications, including:
Competition racing
High performance engines
Vintage and veteran engines
Stationary engines
Agricultural engines
Historic aircraft
Woods Engineering offers a customisable range of precision CNC-machined valve train components, designed for performance, accuracy, and reliability.
SPRING RETAINERS AND SPRING SEATS
Custom valve spring retainers and spring seats can be designed and manufactured from 4140 chrome-moly steel, providing an ideal solution where suitable off-the-shelf options are limited or unavailable. Titanium material also available upon request.
The benefits of custom retainers and seats include:
Adjustable (longer /shorter) installed spring height (affecting valve spring pressures)
Clearance solutions (e.g., allowing for rocker arms / rocker cover)
Accommodation of different valve spring diameters
Accurate valve stem seal clearances
Precise control of spring location
VALVE GUIDES
Custom-made valve guides provide effective solutions across a wide range of applications and are particularly useful for:
Worn valve guides
Oversized guide outer diameters
Aftermarket valve stem seal fitting and compatibility
Changes in valve stem diameter
Obsolete part replacements
Incorrect spring location issues (often overlooked)
Woods Engineering offers a range of general engineering services, supported by precision CNC machining capabilities.
We provide custom machining solutions for one-off components, modifications, and small batch production runs, delivering accuracy, consistency, and quality across every job.
Our capabilities include CNC lathe and milling services tailored to meet a variety of engineering requirements.
