356 1600super Cylinder heads?

[craggle]

I haven't even got my 356 and already I am buying parts for it. Worrying?

Where should i be looking for a set of good or refurbed heads? I have searched Brays online catalogue without success so far. And it's too early to call him just yet (which I will anyway as I need a set of rings and seals etc) but just in case any of you lot know I would very much love some help!

I am pretty sure its a valve thats the problem so the next port of call would be replacing guides and valves, but I was just looking for a bolt on answer to begin with, time is short with this one.

Thanks in advance!

C,

Hendrik is correct PRS for an example would lead you in the right direction, however buying a pair of super heads will not be a cheap option if they are in good condition. If you already have the heads and you think the valves are not working correctly providing the heads are in good condition and not cracked or otherwise damaged why not get them overhauled with new guides, valves and springs etc? PRS are set up to do this type of work providing you can get your heads to them to evaluate.

To buy heads and not be certain they are in good condition and put them on to find this out after all the work involved they have probelms will be difficult for you The problem is you have to fully trust the vendor and his knowledge to be sure you have spent your money wisely!

Think carefully before spending!

Cheers guys, I think replacing the valves and gubbins is going to be the answer here, the current heads are good after all, and like you say expensive to replace them completely not knowing what condition the next ones were in either.

Thanks
