I need to install new valve guides in a set of 2.0L heads and have run into
a problem. I had taken the heads to a shop here in San Antonio that has always been the go-to guy with air-cooled motors. In a tragic turn of events, the guy (one man shop) killed himself (not over my heads, I hope) and I was worried that I might not ever see the heads again. Well I got them back and he had done everything to them that they needed except install the new valve guides. The old ones had been pressed out, and I have the new ones. The problem is how far do they need to be pressed into the head? I can't find a dimension in the Haynes manual. |

At least a shop that does aircooled. Too much press and you will crack the head...too little and they will fall out. Spend the coin and cry once. |
