4 options:
- wait til they’re available
- turn down a .502 guide
- ream hole in head to .500, use a .502 guide
- put a liner in the old guide
When I was messing with those heads on a semi regular basis....... if they needed guides(most did), I made them so I could use .502 guides.

Machine shop doesn't want to put liners in them.
Also don't want to ream the heads to common size.
I guess I could buy a reamer and do it myself.
Place that makes the guides said "call Indy,they order them from us".
Called Indy said, "those heads are junk..."..

I never had any problems reaming the heads.
Made any future repairs a lot easier too.
In my mind, it was the “no brainer” route to take.

Even on new stuff like W5 heads. W5’s......... the stage VI of the small block world.
