Valve Guide Replacement
#2
Well, the old valve guide just drove right out. So what's up with this threaded guide from Trick Flow, LINK? So now, how do I install the new one. Does the head have to be heated, or can the new one simply be tapped in? I'm sure there's a special tool to drive it in with.

Mind sharing one of those 30 that you found? Perhaps I'm not searching for the right thing. I found nothing on a valve guide at Jegs or Comp Cams and only one at Summit. Nothing at all on the install tool.

I had a guide replaced, heads inspected, lightly surfaced and cleaned for 100.00 labor from a local machine shop in 2 days. May be your best bet if you're in a hurry.

Please don't reply to the thread if you don't want to help. I ask you where to find a $10-$15 tool, and you point me in the direction of a $350 tool. Doesn't seem like you know what you're talking about here. BTW, I do know how to use the internet. I'm a 42 year old software engineer. Just because I don't know where to find a specific tool doesn't mean you need to talk down to me. If you have something to add here, please do. Otherwise, take your trolling else where.
