Inlet valve - 1108 engine

[MartinA]

Hi I have just heard from the Engineering Company that has fitted hardened valve seats to my cylinder head that one of the valve is bent. Does anyone know where I can get a single valve? Do main dealers supply them?

I can probably help with a decent used inlet valve. Is your engineering company replacing the exhaust valves?
Or there are 3 new ones here:

RENAULT INLET VALVES 77 01 458 180 r4. r5. 6. 9 .12 .15 3 no boxed | eBay

I might have a NOS set of 4.

Here's an Amazon link, but they're out of stock:

Thanks. I am trying to keep the costs down so a used valve would be great.

Hello Martin, I'm just wondering why you've had hardened valve seats fitted as the R4 head being aluminum already has hardened seats as original to cope with lead free fuel. Please excuse me being nosey.
Regards Brian.

The engineering company recommended them for the exhaust valves.

Can I ask what their reason was.

Think they might have got it wrong.

Hi Martin
I've been looking for the tin of valves in the garage, and, of course, I can't find it - apologies!
I think the eBay ones might be a better bet - at least you'll know they haven't been used.
Good luck with the rebuild.

Thanks. I have ordered the eBay ones.
