Bronze Valve Guides
I'm just trying to get a price for bronze valve guides for a Sprint head compared to the normal steel ones. Anyone know where to get them?

Re: Bronze Valve Guides
When I was looking for some about three years ago I tried all the potential sources I could think of to no avail. Even firms who still had them on their price lists, didn't actually have any left in stock. Once it got down the only option left was to have some specifically made, I gave up and used standard steel ones. I use Motul 300V 15-50 in the race engine and have never had any lubrication issues. Seems to maintain oil pressure better than any other oil I've tried even at extreme temperatures.
