I stupidly took a gamble with my engine - did a top end rebuild and noticed that one of the valves had been passing, and thought the guide was a little worn, didn't have the money at the time and just stuck it back together with new seals.
Trouble is, I've now finished building the bike:

And its smoking real bad, I've decided that my best solution is to get hold of a second head, with a set of valves (can use my springs etc) that is in good enough condition that I can swap them right over in a day. With the option then of getting my original head rebuilt during the winter.
If anyone has a spare head + set of valves in decent condition, that they are willing to sell me, and post to the UK, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
