ring break in time

Here are the old guides coming out, easy peasy to replace, cheap ($3-5) too. Ill call it preventive maintenance if new bronze ones don't fix it. These are finish honed from the box so no additional reaming needed. Now I got 8 spare valves too.

My *** they are finish honed! Maybe the cast iron ones don't hourglass when pounded in but the bronze ones sure did. Waiting on an adjustable reamer now in the mail.
