I know that it is not valves, but in 2006 I bought stem seal and valveguides from them (cossieboyz).. workes fine, and the workshop that fixed my head couldt see any difference on them compared to much more expensive simular parts.

borderfox

any harm asking was or is it a big job changing stems as my engine builder is a bit coy about putting new ons in and ther are cheap in the overall part of things

I dont know actually.. did do it my self. But when he should do my head he didnt take it as another difficult job to do.. anyway, he do make them for a living

I dont know anything about guides, but I do not think it is a " in the shead" job, if you know what I mean.

borderfox

know what you mean alright....... my man works in a good place with all the right gear i might try to talk him into fitting a set cos all the valves are fooked anyways and these cossieboy seem to be the ones to buy from....cheers for your replys janDK.........

I Had a load of gaskets off him for my Supra.... They were awful and went in the bin....

borderfox

funny you say that i seen he has a bottom end set for a cossie for less than 10 pound cant really get a front cover seal for that price anywhere else let alojne the full set.............maybe muck

Madbradz

yer the Supra set was a bit of a bargain..... now I know why!

tabetha

A lot of people sell std pinto ones as cossie, but they are not and the sump gasket on the cossie is a critical thickness, where a pinto cork type one is used it can lead to oil starvation on the cossie as the oil pump pickup is then too close to the sump base.
To install guides is a piece of cake if you have the tools, the head is heated, and the guide is frozen then they are put in and the guide swells the head shrinks fit done, although some have fitted them in other ways.

i was thinking they would be easy enough but my man says there are ok and might have to ream them out after fitting which is the bit hes coy about. I was sure they had just a inter fit. anyway have you tryed these cossieboys...........

Has anyone used these valves and have a good veiw of them

SLEI

I have sold MANY sets of these mainly exhaust valves, they are made by or for BGA. I have sold first sets about 3 years ago and no-one has complainted that they have failed.
But last set of ex valves were not up to my standarts, one valve didn't fit guide because end was too thick and 6 had some kind of softer metal on valve seats, maybe some material which was sprayed on them for protecting purposes?
I didn't get any good answer what the spots were and how do they affect the seal but I think they will melt away quicly and seats will leak.
I haven't sent the questions to the factory yet.
