Autoscum101 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi everyone, I need a few bits to finish my GT/E. It's got a big valve head with the 2.2 CIH valves in it, I need a set of inlets and I can't find any anywhere. Failing that if anyone has a standard cylinder head just so I can get it running that would be good. I'd rather not have a complete engine as last time I ran the car I'd just rebuilt the bottom end so it would be good to make use of it. If that's all there is though I'll settle for it. Some months ago vandals smashed my front windscreen, it's the type with the brown/bronze tint and the sun strip at the top. I have a spare seal. I've joined the club again recently so I should be a member but won't have my OMOC number until I return to my other address in the South West to collect it. Any help would be much appreciated, I'm located anywhere between Oxfordshire and Somerset, and the surrounding areas. Tommmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Im not sure on price but these guys do a lot of opel bits http://www.enem.com/...&B1=See+Chapter and they speak english as i recently got some pistons from them. the prices are swedish krona so you might need to convert. Or German ebay or very expensive http://www.risse-motorsport.de/ Just use google chrome and it will do the conversion for you. Or try http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/ you will have to call them as they dont have all the bits listed on the website, but i spoke to mike and if you tell him its a CIH he might be able to cross ref the vauxhall part with the opel as he said they have all the opel numbers. I think those valves (depending on size) were used in a few of the vauxhall CIH engines. http://www.vauxhall-...Head_bolts.html (not sure if these are the same?) hope this helps a bit.

spiney_norman Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've got several bronze tint windscreens if you fancy a trip down to S Wales! Can probably get one to Cardiff for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autoscum101 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks Andy, I'll check those out. I did actually find some on Risse previously but I tend to disregard them on account of being outrageously priced. I'm happy to come over to Swansea sometime in the next few weeks if that's where you are Spiney Norman, I haven't been back there since uni! Plus if I see Dinsdale about I'll let you know Cheers guys, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascona i2000 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 What size valves do you need? I'll probably have some if you can just find out what size they'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveyte2800 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi, Dont know what size valves are in a 2.2 but Race Engine Components do valves for CIH engines. Sizes are 42mm, 45mm, 46mm with 9mm stem or 45mm, 46mm, 47mm with 8mm stem. Look on their web site. I've used them and prices not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autoscum101 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'll have to measure them again when I go back down country, hopefully that will be in the next week or so. I'll check out Race Engine Components too. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclusive Opel Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 From Haynes manual: Inlet valve head diameter 45.0mm Exhaust valve head diameter 40.0mm Doesn't give stem diameter in exceptions part so would assume there're the same as 2.0 ones: Inlet 7.795 to 7.985mm Exhaust 7.957 to 7.970mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamchop77 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Valve sizes for the 2.2/2.4 are 45 inlet 40 exhaust with a 9mm stem and they fit into the 2.0 heads with the valve seats re cut. REC valves were about 16-18 quid a piece for 214N stainless whatever the size. Doveyte2800 did REC supply valve guides for the 8mm stem valves? Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autoscum101 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Great, thanks for the info chaps. Yeah from memory the stem diameters are 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
