Race Engine Components was established in 1962 and has had extensive race preparation and experience driving many British Sports Racing Cars of the era.
All REC Valves are made in-house. We have our own forge, heat treatment plant, all machining, grinding and stelliting. The only thing we have done out of house is on some classic valves that need to be thread rolled and deep hole drilled.
All our Mini and Midget cranks are made from EN40B steel using our own dies which are modified to let us make cranks with a stroke from 76mm to 86mm. We can also make older Mini cranks for 'S' blocks or more available 1300 blocks. Both maching and nitriding is done locally.
We also stock Quaife 4 dog Midget/Sprite gear kits.
REC probably carry the largest stock of competition valve and classic valves in the UK.
Paul Ivey started his career as an apprentice at Downton Engineering and went from strength to strength from then on. He has been involved quite extensively with the development of the Cooper ‘S’, Jaguars and the Twin Cam Lotus engines of the time. Eventually this led him to the decision of starting up a special tuning parts business supplying valves to the fast growing car market.
Inevitably this brought Race Engine Components and G&S Valves, the specialised engine valve manufacturer, together. They jointly formed a partnership in the early 80’s and together have developed many valve designs and associated parts including valves, retainers and collets suitable for the new breed of high revving racing engines that rev to speeds in excess of 16,000 rpm.
G&S Valves Ltd. has itself serviced the race car and bike industry for over 65 years and together their valves have won at all levels of motor sport including F1, Sports Car, Le Mans, Indy Car, The TT, the World Super Sport 600 Class and many Club Level Championship Races.
Both Race Engine Components and G&S valves enter every season with enthusiasm, and wish all their customers a winning year.
