Anybody sell valve seats for a CMEP-OL?

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

I can dig that you like mechanics ... but I wonder if spending the dough might be the way to go ... because fitting a seat into an old head can sometimes be problematic. No worries about that if you buy a s/h head which seems very attractively priced to me. (What is a CMEP-OL, anyway?)

If where the seat goes was beat up I'd know about it already, it didn't damage the (harder) material in the counterbore where the seat sits.

What is an s/h head?

CMEP-OL is a recovery pump for doing butane recovery on a closed loop extraction system

" ... s/h head" = second hand head/replacement head.
