Lay off the pipe brother. You can get any aftermarket bronze valve guide set for south of $100

002 12204-PR3-305 GUIDE, VALVE 8 2000 INTEGRA 9.58
003 12205-PR3-305 GUIDE, EX. VALVE 8 2000 INTEGRA 9.58

 

STFU and read the post, oem valve guide.

 

no the oem valve guides are under $10 each...should be around $76 to get a set.
i would look into supertech valve guides as they are a better guide.

 

What kyden said, also for the money, i'd just get bronze guides...but the choice is yours. GL

 

your an idiot.

 

these are OEM vlave guides. they are obviously not $78 a peice

 

Apparently the OP needs to read the post??

 

Yeah, thats a little too much for just a OEM valve guide.

 

I wouldn't bother putting OEM guides back in a head unless I absolutely HAD to. Your machinist will hate you and you won't have the benefits of a better guide.

 

^^ listen to this guy

 

I was told that I should use bronze valve guides with my oe sized aftermarket forged valves. Something about they help reduce the chance of dropping a valve..

Does anyone have any info on this?? I have brand new oe guides installed already..

Figured I could post this here to help..

 

whats wrong with oem guides?

 

Nothing inherently "wrong" with them. They are made to be installed with a tighter press fit than aftermarket guides, they have no shoulder to act as a stop and they are made out of a material that is more difficult to machine. That's why I said his machinist would hate him.

 

right on brother!
