Hi,

Can anyone recommend a source for cylinder head parts (valves, guides, eccentrics etc.) Or would BMW direct be your only trusted supplier?

Many thanks

you used to be able to get all this stuff from GSF. A search on ebay might be of use?

Yeah, I've seen it all available from GSF a year or so back but not anymore. I'll give them a call, may they'll be able to advise. I've seen a little on eBay but not a full range.

Thanks

guides goto a cylinder head place they will order the size you need.

eccentrics/bolt/nut OE, FEBI are lower quality

recondition OE valves where possible, aftermarket cheapies are pretty crap unless you get them reground and backcut
