You'll need to find some barrels and pistons on eBay and hopefully the head wasn't damaged too much.
Pics?

I had the pictures but lost them and put the engine back together so it wouldn't get rusted but I will definitely get it taken apart this weekend and post pictures of everywhere that I can . I'm afraid that all the metal and the missing valve is all in chunks at the bottom of the engine . Thanks for the quick reply I will get the engine taken apart today so that I can post the pictures thanks once again !!!

For that probable part list and effort you should consider a replacement motor 200-600$ bucks. R

I figure I also need a new rod for the one that got banged up with the valve that fell. I don't think that I need a new head simply help finding a replacement valves for the two that messed up . can some one tell me what will work and were I can find the valves and the piston rod.


And will these rods fit. I only need one

When I dropped a valve in my 350, I had to get a new valve, guide seals and a oversize piston. I rode it home (I was 19) all hell was breaking loose in there. :lol: It didn't damage the rod and they had roller bearing cranks. I carried my old valve as a good luck charm. It looked like a marble. :dry:
Did you check out the links I put up?

Does anyone have the spare parts I need what should I do it is a must to be repaired I will not let it sit and collect dust. Especially after all work I've done already .
