Top end rebuild is coming along well, but KPMI sent me C630 guides instead of the standard manganese bronze set I ordered. 6 week turnover on getting the correct ones, so I decided to install them, and come up with a solution to ream them with the tooling I have (I'm not spending $200+ on a carbide reamer that will barely fit in my mill). My goal was to get them sized a few thou under finished and concentric to the valve seats. Ended up machining a pilot, lots of lube, and it worked out well. Waiting to borrow a Sunnen stone hone to finish them off.
