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,

Post by: simplydelboy on June 08, 2023, 01:01:19 PM 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!!!

I have some spare heads complete and can take a valve out if you want to use a used one? Peter Title: Re: Inlet valve needed. Post by: simplydelboy on June 08, 2023, 04:10:56 PM 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,

Title: Re: Inlet valve needed. Post by: simplydelboy on June 09, 2023, 03:11:14 PM I see it did work!! It wasn’t on the preview so I assumed it hadn’t worked!!
