  • Montego Turbo valve spring caps

    I'm desperately in need of 4 valve spring caps to fit the Sodium cooled valves and have been told that the same valves/caps were used on all of the engines after '92. Can anyone confirm this, and/or give me numbers, or preferably let me know where I can get some.
    Thanks.

    Whereabouts are you? Have they three grooves?

      Yes, the valves have three grooves. I've got the collets to fit them, but they are too large for the spring caps I have (standard ones). I'm in Cornwall, UK

        The caps on the exhaust valves are different. Inlet caps are the same across the range (CAM 1237) but the exhuast caps are CAM7737 and looks like they are an NLA item.

            That would be wonderful MGM. Glad you're in the UK, I was expecting to find some which needed posting from Australia :¬)

              If you don't have time for dismantling, I'm happy to courier the whole head and send back any bits you want. Getting this done is my top priority at the moment :-)

                    Hi G4GLM, Those are the collets which fit inside the spring cap. It's the actual spring caps: the chunky washer type things which sit on top of the springs and the collets hold the valve into, which I need, although the matching collets would be handy as I think the ones I have are VW so may not fit the caps :¬)

                      These, or rather the ones with the bigger hole to fit the three ring collets.
