Reconditioning vr6 Head, New Valves???

[pyro3911 0]

Hi,

 

I am doing a recon on a vr6 head and was going to do all the normal stuff, but was wondering if it is worth replacing the valves and the guides or just the guides. After 100,000m are the valves likly to have worn or just check the tolerences when they come out.

 

Any help welcome.

most valves only wear on the seat face and if pitted you can get them re-cut and ground in,you will find there is no steam wear,the guides will be worn though.

I will have a head for sale pretty soon. The head has been skimmed, crack tested, gas flowed, and had inlet and exhaust port enlarged slightly, and all ports polished. The head has also had new tappets, new brass valve guides, new stem seals and all valves have been re seated etc.

 

I bought the car recently but the bottom end is going so im going another route and will be selling bits from the VR including the head + loads of other bits including 6 branch etc.

 

Let me know if your intersted. It will be available for pickup in the Stoke area within the next 3-4 weeks.
