Guest Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 can anyone help me out I have 1969 430 buick heads for my 72 455 stage one engine. The engine has been rebuilt. The heads need new valve guides. Question is where do I get these parts and how do I put them in? Please any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
