Hello, where to buy a full set for a late 4WD engine? Google only shows colsibro for other cars. What specifics are needed for custom made ones? Would appreciate some recommendations. thanks

if you want to have some made though, i know a company who has done them before (cossie ones)

are yours the cast iron type?

regarding custom built valve guides I have some in my CVH the chap that did them made them from trojen.

He really knows his stuff my exhaust valves water cooled too! A finned extension in the water jacket! this really dumps heat out of the head well! you only have to ask about the lotus head work he has done!

He does a lot of marine work too! but is normally willing to do bespoke automotive work!
I think its because it keeps him warm in the winter!

do you have a link or the contact adress? dunno exactly whats in it, bought the car not so long ago. The standard guides I guess. Want to change them in the course of a small rebuild, cause the head is open etc. Thanks for your help.

thanks for your help. Trojen is also better than colsibro, right?

trojen alloy is fantastic for valve guides but it is very hard to machine!

check out the web site and give them a ring he might even have some pics of his work he could send you!
