New Valves?

Post by snydes »

Anyone know where I can get new valves? after pulling my head [http://postimg.org/gallery/gi9y6fli/] the valves were a bit damaged or had really warn down, pistons are good though.

I would like to get some new valves either for the damaged ones (if expensive) or for all if pricing isnt too bad.
Thanks,

ASnyder

You cant really see in the pictures too well but around the edges of the valves, pieces of them are missing aka have broken off.

I think finding them is the hardest thing. There was some on the bay ...
It might be easier to get them made

Hmm - China's quality control has got better over the years but I'm not certain I'd trust it on valves. If one of those lets go it will take the engine with it.
