82 Vision Valve Despair

[Cougar Dave]

I did a quick search of the site, but didn't find an answer.  I apologize if this is an old question.  My engine sat unused for a few years.  All four valves in the rear cylinder rusted, and are pitted beyond repair.  I'm having no luck in finding replacements.  The repair shop says the seats can be re-cut but they can't find valves.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Replace the head assembly. good used engines/parts can be found on the cheap here, in the Swap Shop, & on Ebay

Might not be a bad idea to replace the valve springs as well.
For those that might be interested. R&D Spring now offers a complete kit to convert your shim over bucket system to a shim under bucket. It uses the 9.5mm shims that the YZF and CRF use. Tdub

Keep in mind, we don't have the contacts you do... is that R & D spring in Chino Ca? (googled)

we could allways use contact info/part number for any of the goodies you come up with..

Thanks, --Lucky

(it's 10:59 Xmas eve, i'm still getting dinner ready for tomorrow (i'm making a crown Pork Roast) and waiting for the kids to fall asleep so 'Santa' can put presents under the tree. Santa will then crash out in bed next to my wife...)

Yeah,


Any info you can provide us would be a great help T-Dub.  A phone number, who to talk to...  I'd be willing to call all those places up just to get part numbers / prices to try and see if we cant help them out a little for helping us.



Thanks,

it's 12:30 & i'm still up.  the boys are now 10 & 13 (Oh God help me! 13!!!) & they know better, but we, & they, prefer not to admit the truth.  plus I can lock them out of the living room where the tree is, so they don't get to peek 'till mom & Dad have coffee brewed. <Evil Grin>
