Just the guides. I think the valve stem seals are generally replaced on M103 heads.

The engine looks great now. Is it called engine total overhauling?
I couple of years ago, Park Place quoted me $2600 for the head gasket job only. Not sure what else would have been performed.

My indie is a perfectionist. Since so much was removed, it was a good time to look for other quirky issues and just plain ancient parts (seals, plastic, wiring, etc.). Once the tranny gets swapped, it'll be ready for 300K (I hope)!

Oh yeah, for those of you that were interested, Don's # is 817-498-0075
