Bit rough sketches but enough to have some made by a mate.

1 to drift old ones out
2 to drift new ones in
3 to ream them.

Toughts?

Need tot get a reamer still but thinking of these. http://www.partool.be/nl/articles/boor-en-...eSizeChooser=10

#2 almost impossible to machine cost effectively. You’d be better off boring and reaming a hole thru the center, and adding Gtol to the end face to ensure perpendicularity. Them heat up, and press in a drill rod that is slightly undersized (or the same size as you reamed and use loctite to secure it.

I’m not sure what #3 is meant to do? IMO the best thing to do is buy three reamers and gradually work up to the correct finished size. That is probably more likely to yield better results than this. Fact is, you can’t be sure Exactly how concentric the ID of the valve guide is to the OD, and you also don’t know how concentric the one that was in there is to the seat already cut.

Stepping up from 7mm to 7.12 MM?

And for the rest. You have a strong Point. Didnt look at it that way. ( 3 was to set the reamer straight.

I've just fitted new guides to a head with just simple tools:

Big hammer
Parallel drift to remove the old guides
1/4" UNF bolt with the hex rounded down to fit down the guide bore
9/32" hand reamer
stack of washers to set height

Use the hammer, drift and bolt to knock them out. Use the hammer and bolt to knock the new ones in to the height set by the washers.

Ream them out to 9/32". Hand reamers have a slight taper and will not need to be supported to get them straight.

Simples.

Use a press to put the new guides in if you have access to one, hammering them in can deform them. 😎
