c14se valve guides??

[Steve0011]

first of all how easy of a job is it to change valve guides?

and secondly, where to get them from? the usual google search comes up with 2.0ltr etc but not small block engines :confused:

Got mine changed by my local machine shop (along with new larger valves, seats cut, etc)

You really want a press ansd suitable drifts/tools to remove/insert guides, would leave it to professionals myself

when i last had some guided fitted to a head the engine builder charged me a couple of quid to fit them, but a job i would let a pro do.

[swedge]

definitely a pro job, you could do more damage than good yourself

[Steve0011]

yeh, thanks for that :) rep for all :thumb:

where would i get them from? would like to just take bare head and guides and hand it over.

seems i have to 'spread a bit of rep around' before i can come back to you swedge :)

ring your local engine re-con place. they will probably have some in stock anyway.

If you are using an engine builder he should be able to source sone for you...otherwise try Mowgli's catalogue thread - I'm sure he posted a link for smallblock OHC parts

Drift / Big hammer / Oven and some liquid nitrogen ... job done !

[Steve0011]

or, as i have taken the hint, get my local engine guy to do the job :)
