If your after bits from a head I still have a complete head and also a head fully stripped, so will be selling bits individually. I also have a bottom end fully stripped with decent rings & liners.

Timmo, I'll do you the valves/collets (and springs if you want) for £20 or £2 each if you don't want them all. P&P will depend on weight. I take it you will get them re-cut and lapped?

Mark.

Get your head checked for cracks before bothering to rebuild - with old/no coolant in them the alloy tends to degrade over time. It's what did for our p1 16V head so ended up buying a complete re-furbed head instead as it had head gasket failure symptoms.
