88 power valves

<< < (2/2)

yeomans:
If you need help with valves send me a pm.
1986, 87 and 88 all used the same valves. I've seen 3 different configurations of the valves.
Based on my past experiences 86-87 usually had aluminum valves, and the 88's used either aluminum or steel.
There are also different configurations on the operating rod in the 88 models, some of the timing marks are in different places compared to other sets I have seen.
Are just the valves trashed or is the rod as well?
 Like as sandblaster mentioned it's easiest to find them hidden in cheap cores on ebay.
