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.

click on tiger carbs and you can see the parts breakdown etc
not cheap though and dont know how much to ship from the UK
Worth trying..http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/

They will be able to provide tech advice too :thumbsup
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.
Thanks. World of Triumph or local is the options - it seems that not too many dealers offer these valves anymore.
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.
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.
