I am in the middle of an engine rebuild and I need new exhaust valves. I know there are other manufacturers that make valves than TRW, but I want TRW's. Neither I or my Mechanic can locate the valves, according to VWoA's system there are 5 valves in the US at various dealerships, but this hasn't been verified. If anyone could help me locate some (4) I'd appreciate it. Here are the specifics: QTY VW P/N DESC 4 025 109 612A Exhaust valve for Wasserboxer 2.1 (Sodium Filled) For those who have been following my rebuild I received the parts back from Gene Berg Monday, which included the crank, rods, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. All were balanced and look great. I have some pictures of the balanced parts but haven't developed the film yet. I ordered a set of Mahle pistons/cylinders, I had some Cofab's but there was as much 4 grams difference between the pistons, which is too far off to balance and would have defeated all of the balancing to everything else.
