Fixing up a CMEP that was rode hard and put away wet...
Upon taking the heads off during a lower end rebuild I discovered one of the intake valves had broken the valve stem, and the piston had mashed it into the valve seat.
Ecogreen, BVV & eBay all seem to have replacement valve/spring kits but I haven't seen anyone selling the valve seat itself. From what I can tell the valve seat is a similar material to the valve but with a thin metal ring where it seals against the counterbore in the head. I have no doubt my ability to knock the old one out and press a new one in, but need a replacement in order to do so.
Curious if anyone has any leads on these, otherwise I'll have to spend another $160 for a replacement head to get this customer back up and running. Thanks
