Default Valve guides?

Took apart the 853's that i'm going to home port/polish and one of the damned guides broke in half. So i'm gonna have bronze ones installed. What size are they for stock valves? What are the recommended clearances? Who has the best deals?


If it matters. Already have Ti retainers and going to go with the patriot duals and new locks.

.500" O.D./2.115" Length/.312" I.D.

Have the guides honed to a clearance of .0014"INT/.0018"EXH

You will of course need to have the valve job re-shot to be concentric with the new guides...

Of course. I will be doing it. Have valve grinder, valve lapping equipment, etc. Just don't have a press to do drilling for the guides.
