Blacktop VS Silvertop Valves. Same??

**Rallystanza** · 03-06-2008, 10:35 AM

Gday,

I have a blacktop 20 Valve 4AGE which i am preparing to go into a car at the moment.

However in pulling down the engine to put in a thinner head gasket I have discovered that cylinder #3 has a lovely set of bent valves due to eating a small piece of metal (cannot tell where its from, foreign im guessing).

So my question is, are Silvertop 20 valve and Blacktop 20 valve Valves the same. Part numbers and appearence.

If anyone with an EPC or the like could check the part numbers that would be great.

If anyone has a spare cylinder worth of Blacktop Valves I would love to buy them!

Any help appreciated.

Jeremy

Its not part of the valve guide that has broken off and fallen into the cylinder?

It doesn't appear to be, i'm hoping.

My head guy has the head now and has managed to source some new valves for it. He has inspected the head and mentioned nothing like that missing.

Cheers.
