valve guides good, haven't chucked the valves in the drill press, and turned um yet, don't know. hope not bent, other motor for parts stopped running the same way.they would prob be bent too then. new valves $23 each. just ordered gasket set was $33.

your right about that, only diff, the other one was actually backfireing, I knew that was a intake valve without even pulling the head. this one never did that, just lost power, then quit

[jr32560]

kinda crazy how the gaskets for it are that much-I remember a whole gasket set for a small block chevy was hardly $60 man times are a changing

[jr32560]

i can remember one old 5hp briggs I worked on had a hard fiber type valve seat-darnest thing I ever saw-it weren't stock though had bearings in it not the made in ones real bearings-I was impressed
