I stripped the head tonight, it looks like the valve guides need replacing, there a mix of old and new style guides in there, if I buy new guides from paddocks, will these need reaming afterwards? I do have a 10 tonne press so should be OK getting them out, anyone done this?

if you have the proper tool they can be hammered out and in

Don't have the proper tool, was gonna use a drift to get it out, if it needs reaming after then might just give it to a machine shop

Click to expand...

you can drift them out but to fit the tool has spigot that fits down the guide to stop the top mushrooming its best to press them in without it

Do you know if they need reaming once they have been pressed in?
