My Clio is still dead - how much are valves?

[Wardylovesbeer]

:dead: For those of you who didn't read my previous post, my Clio has done more miles on the tow truck than it has with me driving (had it 40 miles and it pegged it.)

Anyhow, just been told that 16 valves have bent (with a nice little 'ouch' after on the text message.) So, can anyone deepen my joy by telling me what the difference in hard cash would of been if say only 8 had been effected?

I suppose I should look on the brightside because with my current luck I was expecting 18 of the buggers to be bent!

Cheers

It cheaper but depends how bad the damage is.
New/second engine is cheapest and best option even better if you can do the labour yourself. Matts got new crate engine £1.25k.

There only 16 valves so you've broken every one no way you could have bent 18 as there is only 16/

I've just ordered 16 valves today of renault and they were £180

I was only joking when I mentioned 18 LOL. Don't know much about engines but that didn't escape me.

You want a go shopping to France intake and exhaust valves for a full set of 8 each are £80+VAT.

Still not worth it new engine better idea.
