Reply #32 - 02/28/12 at 00:55:08 Don't they heat the head, freeze the guide, then press it out. I don't think it's hammered out, too risky. There's got to be a handy trick for removal of these, I never done it, though.

Used to do it all the time.. Had an oven in my old shop, just heat up the head to about 300', then squirt a little cold water down the guide, they almost fall out.. Have your new guides ready to drop in, sometimes they take a little tap.. Reaming the new guides takes just one pass, take your new valve to the local parts store, they will fix you up with a ream.. Put new valves in with your new guides, don't forget to lap em... But the easy way is to order the new guides/valves and take it to the local engine machine shop, NAPA usually has one on site.. Probably be around fifty bucks..

Just saying. I work in a machine shop/ production facility, and some of the worst jobs that come in are one that people tried to do them selves and failed. Instead if having a clean sheared off bolt to work with, people will grab them with vise grips or pliers, or try to drill them, and tear it up. So when they come to us a 5 minute job becomes an hour. And then we charge a dumba** fee. Depending, sometimes we will just turn people away once they have messed with it.

Im pretty happy, except I decided to start putting the engine back together and I noticed they didnt use a C clip for the valve guide to hold it in... here's a pic, new one on the right. Did they purposely leave it out? did they not order it in? what do I do
