does anyone have a good set of valves for a Z1000 A1 / A2 going cheap or does anyone know where to buy new ones that dont cost an arm and a leg. or can bent ones be straightened ?
ive sold my best A2 so now im making a start on my project one.

Hi Matey, it's got to be a no go on straightening them,

Just bought a set from Z1 enterprises, with postage about £100.00 per four valves

depending on which valve it is,i know that the toyota landcruiser 4.2 deisel engine,has the same size valves in them,all that is needed is them to be shortened.at about £8 each.could be a good saving.

i have a full set of inlet and exhaust valves second hand

Hillbilly,

Have you used them yourself?

i went to an engineering company for some head work,and they had a cd,that cross referenced valves,and found that the valves from a deisel toyota land cruiser was the same size in width and size,the stem was longer,but he said you can cut them down and regrind the collet holders.

I bought a full set of patern ones from ZedPower for ~ £150, had to grind the valve stems down 0.020" as a little long but otherwise OK.
