GPI Piston Flycut Tool - LT1 (Gen V) Intake Valve - GPI-CATLT1
Precision Flycut Tool for Gen V LT1 Intake Valve Reliefs
The GPI Piston Flycut Tool for Gen V LT1 intake valves allows you to machine precise piston valve reliefs without removing the pistons from the block. This tool is essential for LT1 engines running larger camshafts or increased valve lift where additional piston-to-valve clearance is required.
GPI produces flycutting tools for a range of applications - including LS3 intake, LS3 exhaust, LS7 intake, and this LT1 intake version - ensuring engine builders have the exact cutter needed for each valve size.
Engine-In-Block Valve Relief Cutting
Traditionally, cutting valve reliefs requires a full piston removal and machine shop service. This tool eliminates that hassle by enabling accurate in-block cutting that perfectly matches LT1 intake valve dimensions. The result is fast, clean, repeatable machining that saves significant time and cost.
If you're installing a high-lift camshaft, ported heads, or running tight piston-to-valve geometry in a performance LT1 build, this tool ensures you achieve the proper clearance to protect your engine from valve contact.

FAQs
Why would I need to flycut LT1 pistons?
High-lift camshafts, larger valves, and aggressive timing can reduce piston-to-valve clearance. Flycutting ensures safe operation and prevents catastrophic piston-to-valve contact.
Is the engine disassembly required to use this tool?
No. This tool is specifically engineered to cut valve reliefs with the pistons still installed, saving hours of teardown and reassembly.
