okay i just got my d16z6 head finished form the machine shop.
it was shaved and valves installed. new seals, and bronze valve guide.
my machinist told me that he ordered the valve bronze valve guides.
the head is shaved and i got it back.
this will go on a d16z6 block w/vitara piston and h beam eagles.

use OEM valve guides if this is going to be a daily they obviously go miles and miles on factory cars..... some people like to over think their build too much.... sometimes OEM>Aftermarket for longevity

suxs i already installd on the motor. how long will they last? i will go boost in a year.

anybody have experience with running bronze valve guides. with daily driven cars...

What valves are you using? Bronze alloy valve guides will dissipate heat faster, but wear and longevity depends entirely on the relationship between the valves and valve guides. If you're using aftermarket, stainless valves, bronze valve guides are the correct pairing. If you're using stock valves, bronze guides can chew them up.

im using oem valves, but i don't know really what kind of valve guide i have. he just told me bronze valve guides. idk what kind though... dangg.... am i messed up. how fast can the oem valves chew the guides up.

im sure he ordered the correct bronze valve guides/ anyone experience these w/oem vavles? my machinist told me that the valve to guid will have better less friction and better and also expands when hot something like that. but i forgot it was long time ago.

its my daily driver and how long do these last. what problems can these stupid bronze valve guides cause my engine.

it will burn oil when the engine is cold warming up when the valve seals go or smoke during vtec... u will know when they go

EG-SIXV-TEC

will it only burn oil when the engine is cold? how long will that take if it will affect anything? its my daily driver, i use it daily..

apexi_rsx

you should get 20k miles out of it before u need to worry...

could the bronze valve guides cause a like glittery bronze shavings in engine oil? i had a engine knocking sound and a no start a while ago with my rebuild motor. also the motors pistons where very carbon build up a vitara eagle rod combo build.

what casuse my glittery oil pan?

Knock + metal shavings in oil = spun bearing.
