Just got word from the head shop that all the guides checked out fine. So I’m back to square one. I guess the difference in the valves was not enough to ream the guides out of spec enough to matter....

Yeah that’s probably what I’m going to do I just wanted to do what I could to make an educated guess on the problem before I get to deep on the car. If I have bottom end issues I think I’m going to...

Test for valve seal/guide leakage.

I’m unsure of the validity of this test I created but it makes sense in my mind and points to my guides being out of spec. Laying awake last night I got to thinking about how to simulate oil...

I get that, it would kinda defeat the purpose to use guides that might be just as bad. These are Mast heads btw. Don’t know if that makes a difference or not.

Bad valve guides after fly cutting?

“Fly cut they said it will be fun they said”. During the crazy supply issue times I talked myself into fly cutting instead of waiting on the .040” gaskets that were months out. Not my proudest...

Well I took the intake off and the bolts are definitely blind and the rocker arm bolts are nowhere near intake ports. However there is at least a capful or two of oil sitting on valve. I’m really...

Oil seepage from intake manifold bolts

Thanks! I’m assuming a fit tolerance issue. Either their parts were slightly big, the factory pump housing had an issue. Or maybe even a tolerance stack issue that made them just to snug.
