Reaming valve guides
My truck could use at least new valve guides. Since this is my winter (salt) truck, I'd like to fix this on the cheap. I'd also like to learn something. I've been reading some books about rebuilding SB and they all mention reaming the valve guides and installing valves with oversized stems. Any of you ever done this? I can't seem to find any info here or on the 'net. What I need to know is just what size valves to buy and what size reamer (and where to get it all). I want a 3/8 inch dia. guide, right? And then valves with 5/16 dia stems?
