Hey y'all-
Recently bought a re-manned G54b head off of a guy to replace my stock head, which had a plug break off inside of it and has two cracked combustion chambers. After getting the head and taking it into my machine shop to get it checked out, he found two bent exhaust valves. Went to replace them, but all of the valves that I can find as replacements do not fit my new head, as they are too short and have a squared keeper as opposed to the stock round keeper.
This new head has the jet valves blocked and mechanical lifters, compared to my old head, with hydraulics.
Here are the specs of the valves that are currently in the head:
OL 4.244
HD 1.494
Squared Keeper
And the specs of the stock 2.6 valves I bought to replace them:
OL 4.173
HD 1.496
Rounded Keeper
Any suggestions or help very welcome. Trying to avoid dropping an additional $300 to get my old head re-manned and spare myself a paypal dispute with this guy.
