Anonymous Unregistered	Valve guides are installed by the folks at the machine shop...not generally a do-it-yourself item unless you're already set up to rebuild cylinder heads.

Kimberly, If the rebuilder of the engine satisfied you,ask him about rebuilding the heads.After installing new valve guides ,the valves will need to be reground, and that requires special equipment. <P> Joe Taubitz _________________________ 37 46 modified with 455 & all the toys 40 56C original restored (driven over 100,000 miles by me) 69 Sport Wagon (BDE travelling car) 72 GS 455 ( used to harass Mustangs & Camaros) 92 Roadmaster Wagon 04 Rendezevous (Mama's ride)
