Re: Valve Guide Removal


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Steve,

Love to be corrected but I've always assumed the guides are knocked out only after the head has been evenly heated up to a particular temp, then new ones set in after another warm up as required. I would have thought best to let the engineer remove and replace all the guides as he may be needing to do other follow-on work with seat cutting etc. Just think he'd prefer to be the one to do it all.

HNY by the way...

Greetings all,

I'm at work prepping the cylinder head for my engine, with some carbon cleanup still to do in the exhaust ports but impeded by the guides. I have new guides in hand and will turn over those, new valves, spring package and the cleaned up head to a well regarded local builder. As he's a bit of a journey out of town I'm contemplating knocking the guides out myself so as to get the head as tidy as possible before he assembles the lot. Would a correctly sized punch and hammer be a sensible approach for this?
?
Cheers
Steve
