hey, i overreved my motor and now im gettin it redone... i bent some valves, not sure how many yet... but i wana know is it ok to reuse the ones i didnt bent?? i dont have the pockets to just do them "just cuz the heads already off and im in there already so i might as well"... so could i reuse em without any problems??

if the valves aren't bent, there's no reason you can't reuse them.

you can reuse the ones in good shape with no problems, but I would recommend replacing the valve guides as long as you have it all apart. the stock ones arent the strongest in the world, and if they are bad you will have blow-by and leakdown.

where and how much do they cost??

1hotintegra

how would they be bad?? the motor has 30k on it so would they be bad from the bent valves... most important how much?

you can reuse the valves, but if your going to be building this car to go fast, replacing now would be your best bet while you go the head off. Make sure whoever is doing it reseats all the valves properly.

Yeah, you can reuse them no problem. Just not the seals. I would recommend some light weight valves, or titanium.

1hotintegra

yea im gettin new seals at like 11cents each i could do that
