★ Replacement inlet valve for the dependable Dodge T214 six-cylinder flathead engine — the robust 92 hp powerplant that drove thousands of WC series trucks through WWII.
Application
This inlet valve is suitable for the Dodge T214 engine as fitted to WC series 4x4 and 6x6 trucks from production years 1942-1945. The T214 engine was the standard powerplant for virtually all 3/4-ton Dodge military vehicles of this period.
Installation notes
Fitting requires removal of the cylinder head. Check valve guides for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure correct valve clearance after fitting — excessive clearance causes noise and power loss, insufficient clearance may lead to burnt valves. Recommended: have new valve seats ground in for optimum sealing and compression.
Compatibility
Specific to T214 engine. Note: the T214 shares the basic block with the T215 (late half-ton) and T223 (6x6), but accessories may differ. Not compatible with the later T245 engine (M37) without verification. Always check the engine type number (stamped on block) for certainty.
Historical context
The T214 was Chrysler's dependable 230 cubic inch six-cylinder flathead produced unchanged from mid-1941 to August 1945 for all 3/4-ton and 1½-ton Dodge WC series vehicles. This robust side-valve engine delivered 92 hp and was designed for high torque at low revs — perfect for heavy military service under extreme conditions.
