I took the time to put my mini in the shed yesterday and remove the head to change a exhaust valve and what do i find but the valve isnt that far from falling into the bore:-(

The valve is absolutely stuffed.

im glad that i havent been driving her for the past 12months

it actually scared the crap-o-la outta me to see how bad it was/is

Have a picture if someone can host it for me....

(do the right thing and keep an eye on your beloved engines)


Cheers

Rohan

Poo valve, exhaust valve, same thing!!!!! LOL

Went to Link yesterday and bought me new exh. valve, all will be going back together in the next week or 2 (depends how busy dad is)

THEN LORNA IS BACK ON THE ROAD.

(and mum can have her mini back so she can put her 1275 in that) :-)
