reaming/honing bronze valve guides
Couldnt find anything on search.
So I had a shop install my bronze valve guides due to our school not having an oven, and when the head was returned to me the shop said they couldnt ream the valve guides as they didnt have a reamer for my size. So I called another shop only to have them say that they dont ream bronze guides, but just hone them.
Just looking for some advice, do I ream or do I hone? This is with stock valves that will not fit into the guides. How much should i expect to pay for a ream or hone job.
