Hi Bess,
I am having problems with the exhaust valve on my B31 and shortly I want to get the head reamed and if necessary fit an over size guide
So the dimensions you have given are of great interest, but can I ask you to double check?
The outside diameter of a standard exhaust valve is 5/8" (15.875mm)?
But what is the diameter of the hole to accommodate the guide including tolerances?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi,
    The standard is 5/8", the mm dimension was rounded up. The oversize guide usually increases by +2 thou increments.

Cast iron or bronze guides in:

Cast iron cylinder head: 0.001" to 0.0015" interference fit.
Aluminium cylinder head: 0.0015" to 0.002" interference fit.

I have the guides professionally fitted, reamed after fitting and seats cut at the same time as its very unlikely the new valve guide and valve will match the existing seat line. I then lap them myself.

Best wishes...
