I will add that to the list.

Dont think I like the idea of trusting a machine shop to get the valve guides pressed in correctly without depth specifications.

I have trust issues...

Anyone know how far the valve guides are supposed to be seated into the head ?

I should have measured before pulling them out.
Guess I could measure the guides in another head.
Unless you have a full automotive machine shop, it is costly to DIY.

* Valve seat tools.
* Valve grinder USED
* Valve Guide Knurling & Resizing Tools.
* There are other special tools required.
