Re: Stubborn Tight 2-Piece Valve Guide Won't Come Out
I have had the very same problem .I got the valve as high as possible and cut it off as low as possible .I used a big suitable drill bit and drilled out the guide not touching the block . The remaining "sleeve" then knocked out easily with a drift . Cleaned up all the swarf with a strong magnet, I had put a rag in the chest prior to drilling . The iron guide material I found to be very soft and drilled out very easily . This was quite a while ago and I think with the tappet down i could remove the bottom part of the valve I might have cut the bottom part in the valve chest but I cant remember having to do that .
