my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

nm9stheham - I will talk about valve guide "slop" when I post a video on valve lapping. Anything that's "fair", I'll have to use. Good and Great are even better...
Roger, that is all good sir. $499 is < half what I spent on a good /6 stock rebuild LOL so no $$ on valves is the way it's gotta be!
