Hey folks,
Thanks to all those who responded.
Quattrocorner was suggested by some who responded directly and also Phil
Payne who I was also able to harrass. A quick note to 'QC' has seen Pete
Reeve come back with a thumbs up on being able to provide 'original
spec' sodium filled valves.
Just an hour beforehand though I had someone from 034motorsport come
back with a suggestion of their larger (40mm vs. 38mm intake and 34mm
vs.33mm exhaust) 'nitrided stainless' valves that would fit with new
seats. These come complete with new guides, retainers & collets. New
guides would be necessary as these have 7mm stems vs. the OEM 8mm. The
other key difference is that these valves are not sodium filled, but
given their other ratings and expectations, would that make a difference?
It's likely that we'll go with the latter. Primarily as it's our sons
project and he has credit at 034.
Will keep the 'list' updated on progress.
Paul
