Rachel Gatturna LLC Revs Up Engine Performance with New Valve Spring Kits
SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Rachel Gatturna LLC, a Spokane-based performance parts specialist, is making waves in the automotive world with its newly released line of high-performance valve spring kits. Located at 1618 E 40th Ave, and reachable at 763-478-8290, the company is quickly becoming known for its dedication to quality and boosting engine performance for enthusiasts and professionals alike. For years, Rachel Gatturna LLC has been quietly building a reputation amongst mechanics and engine builders for sourcing and assembling top-tier components. Now, they’re stepping into the spotlight with a product line designed to directly address a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of engine tuning: valve springs. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains Rachel Gatturna, founder and owner of the company. “Lots of guys are upgrading cams, heads, you name it, but they're often sticking with stock valve springs. That’s like putting racing tires on a car with a worn-out suspension! You’re leaving performance on the table and potentially risking engine damage.” What are Valve Springs and Why Do They Matter? For those not deeply familiar with engine mechanics, valve springs might seem like a small component. But they play a huge role in how an engine breathes, and ultimately, how much power it makes. Valve springs are responsible for closing the intake and exhaust valves quickly and reliably after they've been opened by the camshaft. Think of it like this: the cam tells the valve when to open and close, but the spring is what forces it to close quickly and seal tightly. If the springs are weak or worn, the valves won’t close properly, leading to a whole host of problems: Loss of Power: Poor valve sealing means less air and fuel get into the cylinder, and exhaust gases aren’t expelled efficiently. This equals reduced horsepower and torque. Engine Misfires: Inconsistent valve closure can cause misfires, resulting in a rough idle, shaky acceleration, and poor fuel economy. Valve Float: At high RPMs, weak springs can’t keep up with the camshaft's demands, leading to "valve float." This means the valves don’t fully close, potentially causing them to collide with the pistons – a catastrophic engine failure. Reduced Engine Lifespan: Continuous stress on weakened valve springs can cause them to break, leading to expensive repairs. Rachel Gatturna LLC's Valve Spring Kits: Built for Performance and Reliability Rachel Gatturna LLC's valve spring kits are designed to address these issues and deliver a noticeable improvement in engine performance. These aren’t just off-the-shelf parts thrown into a box. Rachel and her team meticulously source components from reputable manufacturers known for their quality and durability. Here’s what sets these kits apart: High-Quality Materials: Kits feature springs made from premium chrome silicon alloy wire, known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to fatigue. This means they can withstand the constant stress of high-revving engines for longer. Precision Wound: Each spring is precisely wound to specific tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and long-term reliability. The level of precision is critical for maintaining proper valve timing and preventing valve float. Multiple Spring Rates Available: Rachel Gatturna LLC understands that different engines have different needs. They offer kits with various spring rates – from mild upgrades for daily drivers to aggressive setups for high-performance builds. This allows customers to tailor the kit to their specific engine and driving style. Upgraded Retainers & Keepers: The kits don’t just include springs. They also come with upgraded valve retainers and keepers, which are essential for properly securing the springs and preventing valve train failure. Using higher-quality retainers and keepers reduces the risk of components breaking apart at high RPM. Compatibility: The kits are available for a wide range of popular engine platforms, including LS series engines, Ford Coyote engines, and various import engines. The company's website features a compatibility guide to help customers find the right kit for their vehicle. Hand Assembled & Tested: Each kit is hand-assembled by Rachel and her team in their Spokane facility. They also perform basic testing to ensure that each spring meets their stringent quality standards. “We’re not just selling parts; we’re selling peace of mind,” says Rachel. “We want our customers to know that they’re getting a quality product that’s been carefully assembled and tested. We stand behind everything we sell.” Who Should Consider a Valve Spring Upgrade? Rachel Gatturna LLC’s valve spring kits are ideal for: Engine Builders: A must-have for any engine build that involves camshaft upgrades, head work, or forced induction. Performance Enthusiasts: A relatively inexpensive way to unlock extra horsepower and improve overall engine responsiveness. Track Day Participants: A critical upgrade for high-revving engines that are subjected to extreme stress on the track.
