Hi all,

I'm wanting to buy some oversize one piece valves for my X16XE and am having some trouble sourcing some.
I have been in touch with Geoff at Autosprint but he doesn't have a full set. I have tried searching the net with very limited results. I am waiting for a reply from Philip on here and am hoping he can help. But does anybody know anywhere else I might be able to get some from? Preferably not silly money too!
Thanks.

SBD don't list oversize valves, and charge a lot of pennies. I also tried my local engine builders and they are yet to get back to me.

REC Valves - Paul Ivey is probably your best bet if you know what you want.

if your having trouble, it might be easiest to scavenge some from a larger engine vauxhall, with similar stem size

im not sure what size the 20xe's use

Have sent a info request to GS valves who supply REC / Paul Ivey valves and have yet to get a reply.

Not sure what size stems are on 20xe's but they're definitely a bit bigger, also not sure the head diameter is ideal.
