Valve Guides

Post by Gene Gillam » Mon Jul 25, 2005 4:50 pm

Listers, What's the recommended clearance when using the silicone bronze valve guides? I believe that 0.003" is normal for the stock ones but believe I've heard that the silicon guides require a tad bit more clearance to allow for heat expansion.

Hi All

 

I need to find a supplier for silicon bronze valve guides for a Laystall racing head.  This is for my XPAG engine.  Any and all help appreciated.
