This head has one GM stamped intake valve with .003 oversize stem...I need one more intake valve with .003 oversize stem. Thanks.

LOL, I threw all of those away when no one wanted them for several years.

But then, I also now do valve guide liners and they bring 75% of the guides back to new specs.

But Ken, you knew I was going to want one several years later...see, you should have kept one and you would be much much richer now...lol lol.

Hoping to find one somewhere...my machinist thinks I make him work too hard. That is all the head needs...he has finished the head job other than dropping in that one valve that I was told Clarks had but they didn't.

Thanks for your response and info though.

If you have a part number I have a large inventory of NOS valves.

Why not just have your guy drop in a liner and go back to stock stem dia.?

I was thinking the oversize stems were more useful for turbo engines. Maybe just because that's where I've found them.

My machinist is not a fan of inserts. Wagon Master gave the same part number as the guy I am dealing with gave me in a parts document. I will keep everyones info handy if needed.

I have been trying to get this 64 conv ready for BAT. I drove it some before taking it apart to fix some extreme oil in the cylinder problem...machinist said valve seals were all hard and cracked and the one valve guide .003 oversize had a standard valve in it. Compression was about 150 on all cylinders but one...it was 145. If I had room, I would keep this car...you can turn it upside down and eat off the floors. New paint, new interior and lots of new rubber parts. Not perfect car though...water was present when painted it looks like. Its a 110/4speed car and a lot of new parts. 64 grill is upstairs waiting on me to color sand the car before installing.

Hey Martyscarr, I want to "thank you" so much for the correct .003 oversized stemmed valve for my 64 110 engine. I want you to know I paid you for it Saturday and today...Monday it is already been installed and waiting for me to finish the engine. I cannot believe it went from Oregon to NC in a little over 24 hours and was installed by noon Monday...goodness. I don't know who you know but I was tickled. You ship extremely FAST and the part was perfect, just as you said. You are a great Corvair person and thank you for such great correspondence.
