Afternoon all,
Well after almost a full week and about 4 phone calls I finally took delivery of 2 x inlet valves today. They sent two as couldn't remember which ones they used on mine previously (awesome). Not only that I had to pay £50 for the privilege.
The inlet valve being replaced was actually bent and if memory serves it is the same cylinder in which the valve guide broke many months back, (I'll check back on thread when I have more time) now the skeptical side of my might hint at the possibility of them putting same valve back despite it being bent after the broken guide was fixed but I'll reserve judgment on that.
He confirmed all inlet valve seats were indeed not correct. Finally the cylinder that has caused the issue this time on top of valve seats being shite has a leaky spark plug hole, now being fixed also but told to ensure plugs have a good crush washer in future.
I get the head back Monday and expecting a bill in the region of £500.
So all in all, moral of the story is don't use CTM.
