Where is the cheapest place to buy a full set of inlet and Exhaust valves for a cosworth, Exhaust valves need to be Sodium filled.
I've seen the cheap ones on Ebay but i'm sure the Exhaust valves are not Sodium filled.
Thanks

GGR333 Sodium Filled Exhaust Valve Cosworth £37.50 each
GGR332 Inlet Valve Cosworth £24.95 each
Anyone know somewhere cheaper

 

try the brakers?

 

£37.50 each!

 

Mine were nothing remotely like that, around £10 each and sodium filled, I'm sure they were machined vauxhall ones, I'll check with the man who did the head,

Thanks Tabetha £10 is more like it.
I was lucky before and got a full set of new valves, valve guides, hydraulic lifters and valve seals for £200 on ebay.
But just had a timing belt tensioner slip on me with the extra vibrations after fitting up rated engine mounts to the car and bent every valve.

 

XE ones are smaller than cosworth ones so it seems unlikely they were them, so Im not sure what vauxhall it would have been, I would be interested to hear what he said.

 

If you believe that is the reason, then you should probably buy 2 sets mate, as you'll be needing another set soon as well

 

The Tensioner stud came lose from head even when it was lock tighted in, I've made a new stud this time with a tighter fitting thread and loads of lock tight, so here if hoping the new valves will not hit the pistons.

 

Fingers crossed mate!

I have to speak to brian on monday, so will ask what my ones were, it may be that he just suggested that as a possibility if cost was too prohibitive.

Stainless steel exhaust valves are good for use in engines producing upto 350 bhp, thereafter sodium filled should be used. Some tuners have run engines over 350bhp succesfully with stainless steel exhaust valves. stainless are circa £16 each, whereas sodium filled are about £29 with the vat.

 

I found matt lewis very reasonably priced on valves along with other stuff

 

I have a spare set of used inlet valves sat in my garage, if your interested pm me.
