Valve guides
« on: November 13, 2021, 10:55:17 AM »
Are there any recommended manufacturer/sellers of after market valve guides for 500's, or does one bite the bullet and try and purchase the genuine items ££££££££££££££ Plus any other recommencement for guide replacements and seat cutting. I'm thinking SEP at Kegworth, they've done two suzuki cranks for me in the passed that were all good.

Only buy genuine valve guides. I don't think aftermarket ones are available anyway. We do all that type of work here on forum members and other customers  SOHC/4's but Graham's fully booked up until mid 2022.

I think it's going to take me that long to get it finished on a pension, used up my £200 heating allowance already, but as luck has it the wife starts drawing her pension next year, happy days. Thanks Julie
