[LBHill]

Hello all again now that i have piston debarkle sorted the next challenge is the replacement or repair of the exhaust and intake valves has anyone replaced the valves with an aftermarket type valve that was machined to suit and sourced easily or is the genuine part the fix are they available via London Douglas club any info would be appreciated regards LB Hill

i used ford cortina valves...  head size was right...were a bit long so cut that off and turned the stem to fit douglas keepers  i left the original valve guides in and my head rebuilder put in brass sleeves...its a proprietary system..that he uses on most cars..
valve stem are quite soft..i used carbide segment buti  i,m sure could have cut with HSS cutter

bottom line...just find right head size bush or bore the guide...
