Afternoon fellers,
Grandpap and I began pulling valves from the waukesha engine today and 2 of them will for sure need replaced, possibly 4 total (i'll include a picture). We're now open to the option of finding a donor engine, but we're also considering buying blank valves and sending them away to get spun out to fit our dimensions. Does anybody know where i could purchas valves that are 7.5" long, have a stem of .433" and a head of 2.14"? Once I find those, we'll need to locate a reliable precision machine shop in the North east US. Or if anyone knows of any junkyards that would have an old waukesha model N (I know these units were also used in trucks and probably other types of equipment.) There is also a chance we will need valve guides, springs, etc, but so far everything else is intact.
If anyone can put me in contact with "plant doc" on here, I know he mentioned that hes worked on waukeshas before, and maybe he would have a contact for a junkyard?
Thanks for any help
have a great day
