Question for repair guys: Custom made valve guide

Post by jma78 »

Hello all,

if any repair guy here could make a a couple of valve guides for me similar to the attached picture, please contact me. Offset from normal would be about 1/3 to 1/2 of the width of the guide.

Please PM me.

Thanks!

Agreed! Also, valve guides are prone to damage, even when the guide is centered on the threaded portion, that such a proposition would be asking for trouble. The best solution is to fill the hole, re-drill, tap, and make it right.
