I had some new toys arrive on Friday so I started to dismantle one of the heads in my shed.
My plan is to try and port/polish it but I also want to put bigger valves in.
Does anyone know what size valves can be used and if the guides have to be changed to do this? |

Should have got one off e-bay mate. I figured I'd need one for rebuilding the bottom end.
The valve spring compressor was a tad pricey for an e-bay buy but I needed it. £26 + P&P |

Considering That I haven't done the job before and my computer at home is knackered (which stops me coming on here to ask questions in the middle of a job) I thought it would be prudent to have some reference to the task in hand.
At what point did it become stupid to buy a Haynes manual guys?
OK we can do most of the jobs in there with our eyes closed but it’s still a useful reference. |

anyway, back on topic.
If I put these 35mm valves in do I have to change the guides?
can I use the normal 16v stem seals or do I need larger ones? |
