Title: Inlet valve needed.
Post by: simplydelboy on June 08, 2023, 10:51:53 AM
Somewhat bizarrely after an engine rebuild no. 1 inlet valve bent during startup. Can’t see any other damage and don’t know what caused it. Has anyone got a spare? Head diameter is 42mm so it’s the later series. Thanks in advance,
Del

Hi Del, I've used these guys for a few engine bits, and they list inlet valves. Might be worth a check..

Hi John, thanks so much for the info. I’ve left a message with them and hope they have the valve. Betaboyz sadly out of stock. Bloody annoying as the rebuild went so well until this issue. Ah well, cars!!!

Hi

I have some spare heads complete and can take a valve out if you want to use a used one?

Hi Peter, yes a used one is no problem, I’ll just lap it in. If it’s not a lot of trouble. Let me know the cost, thanks,
Del

I take it you cambelt was fitted correctly Derek? One tooth out can bend a valve.

Hi Neil, see my email. I’m sure we set it ok. Tried to put a pic on this reply but couldn’t get it to work.
