- I'm a little concerned: The engine service machine shop that performed work on my head during my engine re-build checked the valve guides and said they reamed them because they were a little sticky.

- I just had my head redone for the first time with about 80k on the car. The machine shop needed one exhaust valve, all the guides and all the springs. I also had to have one seat machined. Hope that

- Wayne--It is unusual for a well run-in engine to have its old guides "sticky" and in need of reaming, as you pointed out. There are checks against data that can determine when valve stems are too loo

- On the way home from work, I stopped at a machine shop that was highly recommended to me. The owner told me that he did not recommend bronze guides. Said that cast iron was harder and would last long

- I must admit that in my Strength of Materials classes at school they always said that "Hard on Soft" was the way to have a long-lasting machine. Perhaps the exhaust head overrules that. Mark Hooper 7

- He's right. But if you are going for performance, the bronze guides are better because you set them up looser and they expand / contract better at the higher temperatures of a hopped up motor (e.g. t

- Forget ever replacing your valve guides by boring out the old and pressing in new. There is a product on the market called a " K- liner" you should look into. It is a much thinner shell . You bore o

- Good advice, because the machinist doesn't have to do much setup the make sure the guide is centered in the hole. I have seen these things on a few heads and my machinist recommends them (less work f

- Dave--Is the "k-Liner" the style that cuts threads as you screw it into the iron guide? Kastner used something like that back when.. It comes with a coil of bronze that is then inserted into the line
