Re: Valve Guide Remove

The valve stems are not tapered, and a replacement guide came along in 1938, along with guidance to modify the bore of the earlier style to prevent sticking. I recommend new guides made by Egge (and sold by Kanter's and others) but I'd still check the final fit either by "feel" or with a dial indicator to see if the guide needs to be reamed.

EDIT: See correction later in this thread about the source of Kanter's valve guides for this engine.
