Default bronze valve guides

bad things happened to my motor and i ended up with 2 broken valves, which in turn broke the valve guides. and two bent valves which make 2 other valve guides questionable.

since i'm having my head repaired are bronze valve guides worth the money? or should i just have my machinest put in factory guides.

Nothing wrong with the bronze guides. Ask you machinest what he is more comfortable with.

I like bronze better, but that is just me.Less press and easier to ream, unless they are the Amco45.

if you had searched!

you would have found plenty of information on this and just recently another thread about this popped up should answer everything there!
