I went to my local machine shop that happened to be next door to the British Car repair shop. They didn't flinch when I told them it was a Lotus but asked me to find the parts. I supplied the valve guides and he called and said that 4 or 5 valves were not re-useable. I stripped a spare head and brought in the box of parts from which he selected the needed valves. Total cost was $275 for the machine work and about $40 for the guides, and that's in expensive California. Let's face it, the stock head breathes really well for a street machine. If you are in the quest for more power the usual bolt-ons, (cams, carbs, and HC pistons) will give you an impressive boost. Kurt
