Re building a cylinder head
Hi there
When re building a standard head is it recommended to get new half cones for the valves or use what came out ?

I've always recycled mine. Never any issues, including an 8k redline and 400+ bhp. Get em if your worried, but I didn't bother.

Its very rare to NEED to use new collects. Just have a visual check for any distortion and check that they are properly pre-loaded once the valve and spring have been re-fitted.
