Bummer man. :(

Checked ebay?

And here I thought this would be a thread about commodes. :D

it probably would be very cost prohibitive to have a set shipped from the US...might wanna look at boatfix.com...they maybe able to help out....how bout your local bayliner store??...they could order the set and have them dropped shipped to you.....
let us know what happens... :D

yes what bad luck!!.

and it was runing nice to,

i got the valve out now ,and can see where water has been on that valve


now i got the engine parts to do the engine your end.so was thinking
if any of you NICE NICE lads hehe, can put on to some.my end they are asking $1,000+ for them.your end and shipping you will top that!!.

the heads i need is the 8 bolt inlet type.you know for a junk yard that may have them.

i did try ebay but cant see them yet .if you guys do drop some links for me here :wink:
