raw head valve guide hole

[dartswinger84]

Who can make holes for valve guides?? I asked MANY places and answer is no, or maybe, if we have enough information about guide locations or -we need your current block what you use with these heads ( this company tells me that it is very expensive job...nothing more....and how much dollars it takes/hole?:banghead:
Those are raw unmachined heads

Where are you located. My head guy in Detroit does guides and is reasonably priced...

I think they are starting with a raw unmachined casting which makes the whole thing more than just putting in holes for valve guides.

My guy has a mill, lathe, drill press in his garage and can deal with fresh and previously machined parts. He also has access to a machine shop at a local race team that his son works at...

If he does guides, he can go "deeper" into the machine work than just a valve job...

If you find a "machine shop" that cannot locate where to position valve guides at their correct angles, find a new machine shop.
