Joe, I always advised my customers to get a valve job done with new stainless valves even on a new car. The issue is that OEM VW valves were made in two pieces, the head and stem were electron beam welded and machined to final shape. I use Manley stainless valves. They are one piece and stron

I will have to check my maintenance book but probably had about 300 hours on the engine since doing last valve job. Installed new TRW exhaust valves when ever I pulled the heads. If I do a rebuild I will use the Manley SS exhaust valves; shied away in the past thinking that they would be softe

Stainless valves are nice, but I will bet that the problem was not the valve. __ Stainless steel exaust valves? I will look into getting some for my plane. Is "seating" the stainless steel valves the same as other valves?

Thank you to Dave & Mark for their stories & photos of "dropping a valve" in July. I worked as an aircooled VW mechanic for 3 years in the Sacramento valley and worked on several hundred cars & engines over that time. I only recall a few dropped valve heads like Dave & Mark photographed. While cars

Dave, Congrats on a safe landing. When you put the engine back together make sure you use good valves. DO NOT use VW factory valves. Since I started building VW engines in 1972, my personal preference has been Manley stainless steel valves. John El Paso In a message dated 8/2/2015 8:45:06
