Im aware of the factory procedures. We have the complete set offactory manuals.

Years ago I was having my heads refurbed by one of the famous west coast machine shops, I asked them about oversized guides. They told my that usually they arent required unless the head has been damaged by bending/breaking valves, or damaged by poor removal techniques.

Chances are if you drill out the guide, and carefully remove it, you will find that you still have the 0.06-0.08 mm interference fit with regular guides per the manual..

Its convenient to measure furst, rather than spending time turning oversized guides down on a lathe. Chances are the normal sized guide will fit. BTDT

Pro machinists have lots of time saving tricks, and sometimes they share them, all you have to do is ask.
