Bronze valve guides for CB550 K0

[MeilakJ]

Hi All !!

Need some help in sourcing Bronze valve guides for exhaust valves of my ongoing rebuild of CB550 K0

Any body knows a source in the UK for this or in europe?

Also would need advice if only changing exhaust ones would be ok ?. The guys at the machine shop the exhaust ones are abit loose and they said its quite common on every engine that the exhaust ones are more likely to go than originals

Also would also valves need replacing with the guides?

Also he recomended to go for bronze ones.

Any help on this subject would be great !!

You could use k-liners, which is a bronze bush and still the original valves ( if not bent). Try T&L engineering in Bedford
Sorry just seen you are in Malta.

No special reason for bronze unless racing, Honda ones usually last 40 years!!!
