Hello all,
Just giving the top end of my engine some attention, and my exhaust valves are well past their best and will need replacing. My inlet valves appear to have been replaced more recently, and are the later pin type, which I believe are incorrect for my car.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either type? Aside from being incorrect for the year, the pin types look like a lot less effort to fit compared to the fiddly cotters, and there doesn't appear to be any difference in terms of cost. I'm assuming the spring cups are specific to each type as well?
Any thoughts or advice much appreciated as always
