Rebuilding the 318 in my '72 Charger and hitting a wall...
Valves are shot. Ordered a new set from Jegs and after I received notification they were being shipped, I was sent notice that they had been discontinued, soooo NOT shipped. :o
I just dropped the heads off at a local machine shop to have them milled, new guides, assembled, etc. But, no valves! Was expecting them in at any time and now... :shruggy:
Block needs a touch of clean up in the cylinders and need some File to Fit rings... Annnd I cannot find any!
Anyone have any leads? Need valves and File to Fit piston rings. Everything I am looking for is stock specs.
Thanks in advance... JB
Your local machine shop can't supply these items?
just searched at Rockauto and just got some intake valves ( and guides )! amazing!
John_Kunkel - They were coming up dry as well. They also use the same suppliers that I was searching. Guides were no issue, the valves were giving them issues as well. I actually found a good set of valves on Ebay. Still searching for the rings...
Nacho - Appreciate it. I guess I am not as experienced as you when searching thru part suppliers. Hence the reason I asked for help, not sarcasm.
It was not sarcam... meaning I said that for real, Is amazing these parts aren't available anymore for this so common engine. Rockauto uses to be for me one of the best sources for stock parts... good prices and the best shipping rates. And 5% discount code published everywhere
rings are available... at least some of them

Nacho... My apologies!
Been in the car world too long and have dealt with "Holier Than Thou" types... Again, I am sorry!
Will definitely hit up Rock Auto for sure! Especially since I just received a notification from the store on Ebay that I was getting the valves from that they are now also out of stock! FML
THANK YOU!
