Oliver, is there a stamping on the outside of the valve guide that is visible? For instance, the Edelbrock guides (which it is said you do not have) often have the number 39-1119 on the outside. Of course the inside diameter of that particular Edelbrock guide is already too big for an 11/32" valve. But it would be interesting to know if your guides have an identifying stamp. |
