Guest Mike in England Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I recently reported that the compression on my 27 Standard 6 was all over the place, well now I have the head off and I see I need 6 new exhaust valves. Everything else is in excellent condition so I suspect the near zero valve clearance are to blame or maybe the wrong fuel. I have only done a few hundred miles so cannot say what has been used previously.Help now neede as to where can I get exhaust valves. There is no chance in UK so any advice out there????Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unimogjohn Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Mike, they are on Ebay in the US all the time. Here is one seller that seems to have a lot of them. Might want to send them a note to see what they might have for you.

Alfa Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 MikeYou could try G&S Valves in Surrey. You can google them for the contact details. They will make you anything you like and once did a set for a 25/30 Rolls for me. Very helpful and not expensive.Adam.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 There are many engines with similar valve sizes. My 13 Buick has valves cut down from a Mercedes diesel engine. The valve stems were a bit longer and the valve material was better than needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike in England Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks everybody, I just called Egge (8 hours time difference) and John placed my order for 6 valves which should be with me in about 1 week. Great stuff!Am I right in saying that Olsen is the best bet for a new head gasket?Mike Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
