Need a valve rotator and some ideas.

First of all, Does anyone have a spare valve rotator assy they would be willing to sell?
I lost the center out of one somehow and am putting my new 113 heads together.

Secondly, I got to plug one of the coolant ports on the end of the heads. One has what appears to be a flush type pipe bushing in it to neck it down to 1/4" pipe. I like the idea. I shoved a 1/2" pipe tap in and found the hole way bigger.

Has anyone ever tapped these and installed a 3/4" pipe plug? If that is a cruddy idea does anyone know what size soft plug fits in there.

If anyone is getting heads done get ready to pay for a printed set of Y heads. $617!!!

That is all new valves, springs, guides, seats and a full polish on all mating surfaces. Parts for the Y are high. Ow! Labor was the cheep part.

Flipklos, I would send your valve parts free, but unfortunately am out of town for several weeks. Cant your head rebuilder put in a plug?

I simply did not ask on the coolant plug.

I did some cross referencing and found a few folks who still have rotator parts on hand. I will call them today.
