No sodium filled valves required.

Just use good quality valves and guides and have the exhaust guides relieved to reduce the chance of binding.

ok so if i use some good quality 1275 valves that will be ok, can u teflon coat valves they do it alot over here for the pistons in mini 7 race cars ? is it worth it if u can ?

1966 MK1 1034CC TURBO MINI

Never heard of that.

Not had a problem using standard valves, so it would maybe be overkill.

1275 valves are a bodge. Stey clear.

Minispares sell some very nice 31mm inlets and 26.5mm exhaust valves. Failing this, you could call Paul Ivey, he's got some 32mm/27mm rimflo valves which are cheap and very good.
The service is fantastic also.

Hi I would like to join in here i have decided to just bolt my 12g295 head on for now ( sorry ben but you will be asked to do you magic in the future for me), how ever i would like to fit new valevs and guides for peace of mind and just genraly tidy the head up be for i use it.

I have just taken the valves out an they mesure

Intake (MOWOG AEA 400) 31.7 mm
exhaust (unknown?? eny ideas?) 25.1

Sorry Chaps I have made a classic mistake :$ and muddled the numbers I have now re mesurd them hope these mesurments are mor like what suld be in the 12g295 Head.

I would like to get new valves / guides / springs etc Who can recomend wat to get I see alot of stainless mentiond and bronze guides.

Thanks

You probably don't have those valves on a 12G295 ...

Aha, Oke, where do i mesure the valves?

Cheers, Andrew

The best standard size valves for the 12G295 are these:

[url]http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=pb&pid=33657&title=VALVE INLET 30.93mm SHORT...[/url]


But it sounds like you may have a modified head with those sizes you have measured.

EDIT: Links wont work for some reason.

Loook for C-AEG587 & C-AEG588

Vegad recommended I use these :

as exhausts (or maybe I misread what he was writing

I have previously done that, but that was mostly because the 26.5mm exh was too small. If a 26.5mm valve seat will clean up the old one, I'd use that.

What ?

I was about to follow that advice like the tables of the law !

Vegard how can I trust you now ???

And also it was very good sense ...
