Bought valves, valve retainer plates, guides and stem seals from cyclex in USA for £260. Adding postage, VAT and auntie Teressa's cut ( import duty ) came to £350. The valve retainer plates are to stop the valve collets pulling through, which is exactly what happened before I got the bike

P.S. you can't remove the head with the engine in place. I made and fitted a frame kit which allows you to remove a section of frame, them you can remove the head and cylinders.

Trigger thanks for the info. I spoke to Barry this morning,(he knows his onions!) I'll be getting it to him as soon as I've stripped the whole bike down again and removed the head.
Thanks again.
Steve.

Sorry I could not sort you out but, only if you wanted to join the waiting list.
Have you done a compression test yet ?

Hey no worries thanks for the info and the contact.
Not done the test yet I'm away from the bike this week so I'll test it next week on the kick start then I'll remove it from the frame ready to strip.
Anything I should look for that might show up something other than a head issue?
