You for sure will need wrist pin bushes and exhaust valve guides.
I've got two boxes full of bronze guides I got by mistake in a pallet-load of Packard V8 parts. The V8s don't have replaceable valve guides. Has anyone used bronze replacement valve guides in the I8s?
Also, speaking of wrist pin bushings, many of the V8s I build don't need the bushings replaced. Do the I8s wear pin bushings more than V8s or is it just because they're older and may have more miles on them?
FWIW, Packard offered oversized wrist pins as replacements. Kanter carried a listing for them in their catalog for years, but when I ordered some for a V8, they said they didn't have the OS pins and couldn't remember ever actually having them on the shelf.
