'performance' exhaust valves - where from?

[jason61c]

Who in the UK is still making exhaust valves? Good quality ones?

REC (Race engine components), G&S valves.

^ Seconded. They may have some shelf stock for common engines but if you want something like nimonic then sit down and take a deep breath. For anything large then look to the US for shelf stock but they may mess you about for 'specials'.

I've also seen this company but they're not local. Lots of information on their web pages though.

^ It won't be the same thing if it's being custom made. That said if a mass produced part is of the same standard then I'd buy it.

I’ve been using REC valves for 40+ years and there is no doubting the quality and thoroughness of design, peace of mind is invaluable when you are pushing an engine beyond it’s intended design imits.

You didnt ask who was the cheapest. You asked who was in the UK.

And he was told who in the UK makes good quality valves.Not cheapies and quality hasn't been discussed.

The us price is from si valves, a super fancy set is £350 from Japan. Is there only one uk company you’d use?

I wouldnt.

I'd buy Ferrea wherever possible.
