Where to buy valves and head gasket

[Rocinante]

Hi all

It´s time for the bi-annual head replacement on Rocinante (did a pretty lousy deal on my last ebay-head-purchase - it had the same intake valve problem as mine did), and I am considering fixing up the original head with new valves.

Anyone know of a good source of valves and head gasket? Locally they are pretty expensive, and also what I have found on the net so far is not to cheap.

Worth trying..http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/
http://www.triumphparts.gbr.cc/

They will be able to provide tech advice too

both excellent to deal with and very knowledgable. thought triumph-ant only did second had parts, my mistake.

Sprint do not show either valves or head gasket on the search but worth asking.

[Rocinante]

Thanks. World of Triumph or local is the options - it seems that not too many dealers offer these valves anymore.

[Rocinante]

Or another option; Triumph-ant sells reconditioned cylinder heads (res-eated valves and new seals) for 350 UKP. I think I´ll go for that.

That sounds pretty fair, assuming you'll get some sort of guarantee with that.

[Rocinante]

I´ll ask when buying but assume they do have a guarantee.

They seem like a pretty solid company and have rebuilt Triumph engines for years, so my confidence in them is high.

I`ve had a few dealings with them, expensive but good.
