Sump_slammer 23 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ok so after pulling my head off it revieled all 12 valve guides are worn. So new valves and guides are needed. What make of valve is recomended? Ive been to vw and for all 12 valves im looking at £270. Does anyone know which company made te valves for vw? Any info on this will be grateful.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 do schimmel sell valves? Personally I'd stick to what I know best. Mines at stealth having a fresh head being built, not sure what valves they are usingClub Chairman Link to post Share on other sites
Sump_slammer 23 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Youve probably seen my other post, but I spoke to vice today and he helped out with which guides to use. But turns out valves are not required and all the play was in the guides. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sump_slammer 23 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well just a update, went down to the machine shop to drop off my genuine stem seals and for some reason all my exhaust valves have a slight bend in them which they found when spinning them up to recut them so they are only cleaning on one side. Very strange, but I have a feeling this may have been the slight "popping" sound on idle which it had intermittently. But as for make of valve I think ill go for MAHLE valves as they are a good german engineering company. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sump_slammer 23 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Cant belive in the whole country there are no sets of good exhaust valves. Im not going to euro car parts because of how rubbish quality everything is. My machine shop can only find 3 marle valves in the country so they are having to come from germany! I guess the only people rebuilding vr6's in this country are on this website! Link to post Share on other sites

Sump_slammer 23 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Marley valves, unavailable.Now going for ks. Also german.A local motor factors did say we can get ultra parts, I questioned where do they come from? They said "Italy" so my response was "the day I put Italian valves in my german engine is the day I die" some people just don't understand! Link to post Share on other sites
