Kanter Valve Lifters
Kanter Auto focuses on precision-engineered valve lifter replacements, both hydraulic and solid, for vintage and classic cars, ensuring correct fitment and performance for older engines. As crucial components in an engine's valve train, the valve lifters purpose is to transfer motion from the camshaft lobe to the pushrods or rocker arms, ensuring valves open and close at the right time, with hydraulic types automatically adjusting for slack, while solid lifters offer performance but need manual adjustments. Restore proper engine function and performance for your classic vehicle with Kanter valve lifters.

Kanter Coated Pistons
Kanter Auto offers coated engine pistons for hundreds of applications, including many Ford, Mercury, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Jeep, Willys, Chevrolet, Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Plymouth, Buick, Pontiac, and American Motors vehicles from the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and '70s. These cast aluminum replacements feature a high performance, anti-friction coating designed to extend engine life, reduce scuffing, and improve sealing. This coating is applied using an advanced process that minimizes blow-by and noise, especially during cold starts. The coating can be beneficial for classic and high performance vehicles, particularly those with a history of overheating, detonation, or scuffing. Benefits of coated pistons: * The anti-friction coating prevents the piston from scuffing against the cylinder wall, which is particularly helpful during cold starts when oil is not yet fully circulated * By reducing friction and wear, the coating helps to prolong the life of the piston and other engine components * The coating contributes to better cylinder sealing, leading to more efficient engine performance * The tighter clearances allowed by the coating help to reduce piston noise that can occur when an engine is cold * These pistons can be installed without modifying the existing cylinder wall clearance, making them a direct replacement in most cases

Kanter Camshafts
Kanter serves the vintage car market, providing parts for older engines where original components might be scarce, including camshafts. For older engines, a new Kanter camshaft can help bring back lost performance and smooth out rough running by precisely timing valves. Whether as a stock replacement or performance-oriented, Kanter camshafts essentially upgrade the engine's "breathing" system to make it more efficient at making power.

Kanter Engine Valves
Kanter engine valves provide tangible gains in an engine's power, efficiency, and lifespan by strategically improving how air and fuel enter and exit the cylinder. Engine valves are one of the engine's most critical components, as they must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, hitting impacts and loads during their lifetime. Because the operating temperatures of the intake and exhaust valves are highly different, various materials, structures, and manufacturing methods are required and implemented for each type of valve. Kanter's valve lineup includes various processes, such as forging, machining, welding, nitriding, and specialty coatings, that provide strength and durability. Select the engine valves tailored for your application needs.
