    Unhappy Wow this sucks.

    I am doing this swap in my grandpas shop, its a pretty good shop but several people have acess to it and come and go as needed. Anyways to get to the point I came in yesterday and went to start putting my heads back together and realized I am missing an exaust valve. So where can I get another stock valve to replace the one that dissappeared?

    You could prolly hit up a junk yard or local engine builder. I wouldn't think an exhuast valve for 862 casting heads would be expensive...

    Ive been in those situations and know how it feels. The stealership will probly rip you the f*** off to sadly...
