I got alot of bent valves on my head irs a gsr head with about inly two valves that arent bent. Can i just buy new valves and call it a day or do i need more done to the head.
Some valves are really bent as in a big gap from where there supposed to sit and some are just alittle off

 

You need to remove cylinder head Inspect all valve train parts of damage, inspect the combustion chamber, valve guides, valve seats, etc for damage. Make sure all parts/cylinder head is still within oem specifications

-Remember you cannot always tell if the valve is bent or streched by the common eye

All new valves would be recomended due to the low cost and a safe state of mind, and the possibility of your 2 (Straight valves) might be infact bent or streched. They each need to be seated properly and checked for a complete seal and properly adjusted with reassembly of cylinder head

Good luck

 

yeah i removed the head already okay so alot more parts could be damaged so should i just get oem valves or upgraded ones

 

up

 

hhjfgg

 

You might as well just rebuild the head with new valve seals etc since the head is going to come off. You need to decide if you are going to go with oversized or stock sized valves. You need to take the head to a machine shop so they recut the valve seats.

 

so if i just get stock valves it still has to be recut is there a good site to get new valve seals.and all the stuff to make it like a fresh rebuild

 

OEM seals are good, or there are Viton ones made by Ferrea that I think I heard are good.

ITR valves would be good, or any good aftermarket brand.

 

take it to a machine shop.. have em take it apart and hot tank it.. then change all the valves, and valve seals.. then have em Lap the valves

 

make them grind the valve seat as well.

the valves in my old head were slightly bent and made the valve seats an oblong shape, basically trashed them.

i agree with everyone who says rebuild the head, its easy to do and well worth it.

 

okay so i can take it to pretty much any head shop since this is routine stuff..

 

what do u mean have them lap the valves?

 

just take it to a machine shop, they know what to do with it

 

but would it be better to take it with the parts or just drop it off

 

it is cheaper if you take it apart and all the valves out

and then tell them you will put it back together yourself


i did that, i got 2 heads checked, all my valves and seats ground and head leveled and he only charged me 25 bucks.

he got to keep the second head tho (it was pretty much trashed) guides were shot, seats were shot.

of course, i was wearing my honda uniform, he probably gave me honda dealership discount

 

okay i think ill do that then thanks for the help
