Default Valve Guides

I was wondering how to change my valve guides. Is it hard or very simple. I took off my valve cover already... and can someone show me how to do it? Thanks.

the guides must be pressed in the head?

regardless you cant change them with the head bolted on the block and just the valve cover off

if your going to the trouble to replace the valve guides, might as well do a light rebuild of the head or motor since you are pulling the cyl head off anyway

yea u have to take off the head.. what makes u think u need to replace the guides?
if the valves are alittle loose just ask a machine shop if they can nurle(spellin??) them. that should bring them back into specs.. thats how we did alot of hondas at the machine shop i used to work at..
