Can you not just replace the valves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR5V Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Getting bent valves out can be a complete nightmare. when my Mk3 ABF belt failed at low speed - I used anything available: hammers, pry bars, pliers, screwdrivers and nearly destroyed a brand new valve removal tool Hope you get sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah have a look, if the damage is minimal you may as well repair it. It's just time consuming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danboy Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 It was £9 and £11 + vat for the valves Hopefully I'll get them out the head this weekend when I can get to my workshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
