Hi Folks,
Well, I started working on replacing the Valve Guides. Gosh, one really has to pound on them hard to get them out! They started to chip and disentegrate while I was pounding them out.
I was using this tool:https://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/kl1765.html
It started to deform this tool a little bit, the shoulder was mushrooming.
I tried pounding a new Valve Guide in (from Kanter) and it ended up chipping a little bit, I had to pound it out, too. Fortunately I had bought one extra each of the exhaust and intake valve guides.
But I think I will try the dry ice method for installing them.
I was thinking of buying another tool to have as a spare. Do you folks recommend the tool above, or perhaps this one:
GP-534-G .343" x .487" x .336"https://goodson.com/collections/valve-guide-drivers/products/manual-valve-guide-drivers-sae
I really don't want to break another one installing it. I hope the dry ice method works!
Thanks and Cheers,
Jerome
