ABOUT

In 1982, Richard Jolly (President and CEO of VTI) established Valve Train Industries in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Originally, VTI perfected the rebuilding of undersize valves, but in 1988, valve lifters became the focus of the business.

VTI has also become a very busy custom shop. VTI will remanufacture any type of lifter if the customer has the cores, and has been able to help a lot of people with their antique and agricultural engines. The best part is that in 94% of the cases the lifters are in and out the same business day. 

VTI has Three Points of Quality Control:

n      “Quality” –Over 10 million lifters sold worldwide with less then a 0.00001% warranty level.  Approx. 100 lifters in 19 years.

n      “Dependability” - Making sure that the customer gets what they order the first time and that they can depend on what they have been told.

n      “One Call Service” - Making sure that the customer only has to make one call to get what they need.  We will always do our very best to find solutions to whatever questions our customers may have.

The newest product in the VTI lineup is the top gun lifter. The process used to treat the Top Gun lifter helps with oil retention, therefore helping with the break-in of the lifter. It also enables the metal to resist galling and carbon build up. This increases longevity of the lifter by resisting wear. Look for updates in the near future on these lifters.

RAPID 

In 2005, Richard Jolly acquired all aspects of the Rapid line of products from Parts Manufacturing Company of Concord, Ontario. The Rapid line of Phosphor-Bronze Valve Guide Repair Sleeves and Stainless Steel Crankshaft Repair Sleeves is constantly growing to accommodate the demand for more sizes. The manufacturing facility is also being modified with more machines and automation technology.
