I will still probably get these heads back to a shop to get the new valve guides. They will have to be reamed one way or the next.

I'll be calling the dealership tomorrow to find out if this probelm was ever fixed. If not, my dad will come up with something for sure. If not, I'll talk to the mech at the shop to see what his suggestion is. This guy has a good reputation and all the work he does is on tape in case you want to make sure you did not get ripped off.

Thanx for all the advice guys.

Although this car is a domestic piece of crap, you do learn a lot about some things that are in common with many other cars
