i finally got a valve spring compressor and got all the valve except 1 exaust valver and its bein a bitch, im sure ill get it out later but a good 2-5 valve guides are fucked up, its it worth even replace or should i just get a new head? what you guys think, thanks!

 

Jeebus... what happened?

 

hahaahahaha i dunno motor has less than 120k miles but more than 100k i forget cause i got a new cluster, when i pulled the h23 was smokin alot and felt like it had shitty compression, the motor suprizingly is in great shape besides the few valve guides. i dunno wtf to do, i mean i can buy a h23 head for like 120 i guess but if valve guides are fucked i guess im fucked lol. anyone got any suggestions???

 

You are right: it's probably cheaper to replace it than to repair it. If it is only the guides, call some local shops and see what they would charge to replace them.
