Default Where to buy 8v valves

i tried a quick search and came up empty, I brought a failed cambelt 83 944 and they put a new belt on and decided to run it back up, not a single valve survived. if anyone knows of a cheap place, or even has a set floating around they want to sell please get in touch.

exhaust: http://944online.com/cgi-bin/ASI_Sto...skukey_1001305

intake: http://944online.com/cgi-bin/ASI_Sto...skukey_1000752

the exhaust ones are pretty pricey most of the time...

usually people have perfectly good part sitting around they are willing to let go of for super cheap if not for free just for getting it out of their garage

You will spend more money checking and machining used valves than you will buying new ones and lapping them in. Vertex or 944Online are your best bet.

I bought valves from autohausaz.com - intake for $17, exhaust for $40. They are aftermarket.

I have a set of used good OEM valves I'll sell you for $120.

I was about to put them into a freshly rebuilt head. If you want the entire head, I'll sell that for $225. It's got new guides, seals, and decked.
