The H23 head I bought from sik96prelude has bent valves...he must not have told me his timing belt broke, or maybe he forgot. Now Honda is charging me $250 to machine the valves. WTF? Why can't they just buy new ones? Anyways, I'm trying to find some new valves to have put into the h23 head while I can. I've tried Landspeedracing, mantaray, inlinefour, and planetperformance. None of these sites have valves for an H23. I'd appreciate any advice or opinions you have. Thanks

 

u can get them from honda.. i think ex are 12 and intake are 16... Carquest is cheaper.. same valve.. i got them in and it said honda of japan on the box i **** myself.. i saved alot of money to...
they still have to grind the valve seats so that a new (different) valve will seat right. that shoud run around 130.. thats what we do it for at the shop i used to work at. +parts.. get some new valve stem seals while your at it

 

I checked out carquest.com and I couldn't find valves for an H23 head. It only had drive train products...no valvetrain. I was wondering why they were charging 250....it's probably because they need to change the seats to fit my head. Thanks for the info.

 

thats why you should have bought my h23 head for $70. Its in great condition with no bent valves. It just doesnt have the cams in it

 

yeah, you'll definitely want a machine shop to re-work the head for new valves. It'll get you new valve seals also.

That's the one thing i forgot to do on my last setup. Now my car smokes because of my valve seals. on me

 

factory valves are cheap.

wow, this rebuild is costing you an arm and a leg.

 

actually now that i think about it... i got em from napa..
also most the time they dont replace the seats they just regrind them.. (3 angle job)

 

I think the total is close to $2000 for fixing a cracked head, coolant leak, blown head gasket, machine work, and DC CC 4-2-1(which I didn't mind).

 

I think the total is close to $2000 for replacing a cracked head, coolant leak, blown head gasket, machine work, and DC CC 4-2-1(which I didn't mind). Think this will give me some more HP since a I have a newer head that's machined...?

 

someone is rippin u off man unless its like a stage 5 ported and polished head or someting

 

I got a stock 95 stock H22, there was a compression test done and it came back 211, 211, 188,211. Now that may not be a heavily bent valve but.... I am gonna go get a leakdown test to see for sure. Now if I do need to replace my stock valves, how much would it cost, not for the valves itself, but everything else? I figure valves are 20 bucks each....but do I need to replace all four for that piston? and what is the labor like?

 

I'll sell you my stock valves... They are all healthy

 

sounds good.. I probably need 4 of them, but do you guys know how much it would cost to replace the vavles? and possibly the seals.
