dang that is expensive!

I don’t know much other than what i saw in this video. The drills out a cast iron head and presses in a new guide and reams it to the correct size.

I found a video of someone using one of these to drill out and install bronze valve guides on the youtube. It appears to have been long discontinued and very hard to find. Anyone use or have one of these things?

the one on the left was in the engine when i bought the car 30+ years ago. The whole engine was painted that chevy color. the guy i got it from had it since the mid 70’s. i don’t think people cared about factory correct colors back then . It would be nice to take it back to close to original...

thanks for pointing that out , didn’t notice there was a difference in sides. everything is getting disassembled cleaned and lubed before it gets reinstalled in engine anyways.

do you know what amperage it is rated at?

thank you this is very helpful!

i don’t really care if it’s numbers correct , i just don’t want to burn up my wire harness or my voltage regulator. From what i’ve read on the forums the 60amp that’s available is pushing my luck on the stock harness. i’ve also read that some of the rebuilt alternators put out too high of...

i’d try to find a used one and have it rebuilt but it seems to be kinda hard to identify the amperage.

Rockauto has 55 and 60 amp alts . some of them say may not come with pulleys or may be square back.
