Title: Stainless Valve source?
Post by: zuki1018 on July 20, 2011, 11:20:16 AM

Getting some head work done.  I have called 4-5 well known sami retailers and none have stainless exhaust valves.  Several people here have them on their engines.











Also for future searches, had to spend a bit of time to track these down:

Valve keeper , rocker arm clamp, retaining clip
OE Part#12849-71c03 cost about $3.00 each.

Ya, I have a set of SS valves for a 16V engine, they came out of Canada
and I will look up the company later, but someone remind me.  I gave
the info to someone but it was a PM, they could post it here too if they read this

Sooo, if several people there have them, have you asked them where they got theirs from?
