Hello

I need 2 exhaust valves for the cylinder head I'm repairing. Asked at my local mazda dealer and they were totally uninterested, they wouldn't do anything unless I had the chassis number because I let slip it was an import. My local motor factors didn't stock them either.

American ebay sell them for $7 each and even with shipping over here it comes out at about £30 quid delivered for 2.

I think it'd help if you mentioned if it's a 1.6 or 1.8.

What was wrong with the old head. I've got (think) a some 'used' 1.6 exhaust valves you can have for the cost of postage. I reused all the ones in the head I rebuilt, using a bit of grinding paste and the help of this, slightly heath robinson, valve grinding tool...
