F6A sohc valves **NEEDED**

[djflex]

Hey there,

Im chasing some valves for an F6A sohc (2 valve)

I need;

2 x intake

1 x Exhaust

5.5 mm diameter
approx 110 leangth

surely your engineer will have a reference book that will show all valves available, maybe some other make will fit.maybe a repco engine parts book.

Unfortanatley no. The f6a is an unusual motor and the sohc has longer valves than the dohc.

If I could find a wrecked head and used valves I would be happy.

Hey Colin,

yeah I emailed him last week as well. here is the response

"hi sir...
the 31.6 intake goes to an alto...but the stem diameter is wrong....7.0-7.1mm vs F6a at 5.5mm
we're looking to see what else your measurements may have been used in..
but that typical for the carry line... they will use something for 6 months..then change it.
theres at least 5 different computer boxes that were used for turbo..for example.
if we find i'll send you message.
thank you
Mark"

That's a fair response - certainly more than you'd get from a lot of places...

thanks Colin,

I rang their Brisbane branch and by luck spoke to a Kiwi fella that knows that motor from when he worked in NZ. He said they have no listings for the F6A at all.

He gave me a link to the guys in Nz that have those motors and parts Impact off Road +64 7829-7043 and said to speak to Chris or brent apparantley they (along with him) no that motor very well.

So I guess come monday I will calling the land of the Kiwi

heres hoping

how about fitting larger valve guides or reaming out the old ones, would also make it easier in the future if you have to replace them again.

Thanks Mowog

I will run that by Gilberts headworks and see what he thinks

I still havnt heard back from the boyz in NZ, if all else fails I will need to get them custom Made

Ok I spent hours and days searching and calling people all over the world and decided in the end to buy a suzuki japanese electronic parts guide (in japanese) it came on 2 x cds and after installing it will let me cross reference EVERY single Japanese suzuki cars ever made.

it is in japanese but using a translator in the background window it was no big issue

it included exploded diagrams and reference for all part numbers

so finally i discovered that the valves were from the CN21S engine found in Cervo Mode and some Special ALtos.

the part numbers were:

12911-70B30
12915-70B00

Strange enough these were also used in suzuki outboard motors !!! go figure


so now Im closer to finding the elusive valves
