I've got a set of the Stealth heads from my now deceased 451, and the machine shop says my exhaust valve guides were a looser fitting in the heads than he would like, and the intakes were "meh". So, we need a set of guides. 440 says they are .530 OD, but the guides we pulled out measure out to .542". Has anyone here ever replaced valve guides in the Stealth heads, and if so, what was used?
