After a 3 month painful wait from an engine rebuilder I finally got my cylinder head back after a re guide.
Low boosting for now. |

Iron ones are half the price of the bronze ones, but will be fine for your boost. |

I think you'll find the MPI ones fit better than the MRA ones anyway.

Use seals on inlets only. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

No, but for slightly modified engines which are run hard occationally I would. Especially on a turbo engine with iron exhaust guides. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Are the valves std material or stainless, as I thought you couldn't use stainless valves with iron guides

I was told last week that i couldnt run std valves with bronze guides, does that go for the other way around.

Use seals on inlets only. I disagree. We ran them on the exhausts in the upside down skip at 25+ psi with no problem. We also put them on John's clubman with no issues (stopped it smoking like steam train too). Edited by apbellamy on 21st Nov, 2012. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

They were iron guides before the re guide so I'm assuming that they are the original sodium filled ones, is there an easy way of telling them apart?! Low boosting for now. |
