6.0 Powerstroke Intake Valve – SBI 02179

The SBI 02179 intake valve is an OE-style replacement for the 2003–2007 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke (F-Series) and 2004.5–2010 6.0L E-Series vans. It restores factory valvetrain geometry and sealing on a 32-valve diesel that is hard on cylinder-head parts. Sold individually; 16 intake valves are required per engine.

It is built as a direct-fit replacement for the factory intake valve, with dimensions held to stock specs so it works with OEM springs, keepers, guides, and seats. SBI machines these to current production standards rather than copying worn OEM samples, which helps keep seat contact, stem clearance, and installed height consistent across a full set.

Highlights

• Direct-fit intake valve for 6.0L Powerstroke cylinder heads
• Stock head diameter and 30° seat angle for a proper seal on the factory seat
• Hardened stem tip to resist mushrooming from rocker/bridge impact
• Smooth stem finish for guide and seal life
• Sold individually so you can replace only what you need or kit a complete head

Note: Pair with the matching SBI 02180 exhaust valves if you are doing a complete valve job. The performance nitrided version is SBI 02179R if you want the upgraded stainless/bimetallic race-style intake instead of this stock-style 02179.
