Hi all,
My mini is a 1976 998cc series A engine (unmodified). If you followed my previous posts you would know that I've been having engine troubles. I've gotten that sorted but its still not running as well I think it should (though its very driveable).
With the engine idling I can hear hear occasional and irregular "poof" sounds coming from the exhaust. I suspect the valves are leaking a bit, and I'm considering doing a top overhaul.
If i have the cylinder head taken out I might as well change the valve and valve seats since this engine (to my knowledge) has never been opened.
I'm looking for recommendations on what valve and valve seats I should get to maximise my returns. I know that typically for road cars one just gets standard valve and seats. I also know that David Vizard recommends getting 30 degree valves and seats to improve the flow and performance of the engine.
Unfortunately here in Malaysia I dont think cutting or machining down valves/seats is much of an option (i dont have the knowledge & equipment, and i'm not sure anybody here really does).
So can I get recommendations for valves and seats to get for my Mini please?
