Ok, this sounds like a good idea. How do I drive them back in without
mushrooming them?
I plan on replacing the valves themselves, will I have any problems with
them lining up correctly when I lap them in or will I have to have the seats
ground to the new guides??
Thanks
Keith
I use an air hammer with a driver made for this purpose. I also made
a sort of tube that seats around the spring boss, to support it while
driving out the guide.
You will need a valve job after replacing the guides, because you can
never count on the bores to be perfectly concentric.
