Z1R valves

#1 PostAuthor: z1rtc » Wed Nov 07, 2012 1:49 am

Just took the head off my TC to check the bores etc (all great) and change the valve stem seals that Big Fluff sent over - cheers Will - but we've found that most of the valves are very slightly errr, bent! :(

Please let me know if you've got a set of straight ones that need a good home :up

You can straighten them in the vice.

I've done it loads of times.

I've done it many a time.

NEVER got one running again after this repair, obviously bad fuel??

Z-Power do pattern valves at a reasonable price. I and a few others have used them without any problem.

Thanks guys, but looks like my mate has already sorted it! Not sure if he was going to keep it a secret, but hopefully I'll have a head full of straight valves very soon :)
