GPI Piston Flycut Tool - LS7 Intake Valve - GPI-CAT7
Precision Flycut Tool for LS7 Intake Valve Reliefs
The GPI Piston Flycut Tool for LS7 intake valves allows engine builders to machine accurate valve reliefs without removing the pistons from the block. This tool is essential when installing high-lift camshafts or larger valves on LS7 engines, where creating additional piston-to-valve clearance is critical for safe operation.
GPI offers flycut tools for multiple platforms - including LS3 intake, LS3 exhaust, LS7 intake, and Gen V LT1 intake - ensuring builders always have the correct cutter for their specific valve diameter.
Cut LS7 Valve Reliefs Without Engine Disassembly
Traditional valve relief machining requires complete piston removal, machining, and reassembly. This tool eliminates that process entirely by allowing precise in-block cutting. The result is professional-grade relief machining completed in far less time, with minimal teardown and no machine shop delays.
If you're installing a more aggressive LS7 camshaft, optimizing cylinder head flow, or working with tight tolerances in a performance build, this tool ensures reliable piston-to-valve clearance and prevents costly contact.

FAQs
Why would an LS7 engine need piston flycutting?
High-lift cams, larger valves, or aggressive timing events often reduce piston-to-valve clearance. Flycutting adds the needed margin to prevent interference and engine damage.
Do I need to remove the pistons to use this tool?
No. This tool is engineered to cut reliefs with pistons still installed, significantly reducing labor and simplifying the machining process.
