[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 114464, member: 1632"] I had decided at the outset that I would install the sealed type valve guides. I measured up everything and added 0.001" or 0.002" so the valve guides would be nice and tight when fitted, I then placed my order with VOC Spares. My mistake was one of the sizes I ordered was right on size so it was an easy push fit. That was on me, so what to do now? Order the correct size and wait or order AMCO 45(C6300) or 954? After all I had a good seal type valve guide to use as a pattern. I did the latter and as luck would have it was the correct choice. So valve guides installed and time to ream them. I wanted the the lower valve guide axis to be co-axial to the upper guide and perpendicular to the upper guide seating face to I made another reamer guide. Using an old Triumph inner valve spring to hold the guide in place under an old an damaged valve cap I reamed the lower guides. [ATTACH type="full"]31645[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]31646[/ATTACH] I made the guide tall enough that if someone wanted to use it for a standard guide the reamer will slide up into a clearance area.
