Nearly £600 for valves

you can buy a second hand head cheaper just for the valves!

I have a head thats been skimmed a bit much, but the valves are fine!

mate - i dont know if them ones on ebay are genuine. there have been a lot of crap on there lately with people selling em off as genuine when in fact they are made up of inferior metals.

I personally would spend the extra and buy from a reputable trader and that way you know they are the real deal.

As for buying second hand valves, again IMO is it really worth the risk?
