reusing valve guides
i got aftermarket valves, springs, cams, retainers, new OEM seats, new OEM seals, and reusing keepers.
My quiestion is, can i reuse my valve guide?
edit: the only way a valve guide can get damaged is if a valve bent right? so it should be ok to reuse my guides ???

Re: reusing valve guides (SoOHiGH)
That depends on how much wear the original valves wore into the guides i would measure it then decide if you want to reuse them or not

The machine shop that's doing the valve job can do it for you.
