Tim, I'm going to replace both intake and exhaust guide on my 356 ci engine. Would you recommend the guide/stop be made of metal or hardwood? My thought was to get each tappet on the low portion of cam and measure distance between top of tappet and bottom of existing guide to make "stop block" guide.
Is this a good approach? Thanks.
