Hi Grumpy
I put the engine back together and started it. I let run for about 30 mins and it was running fine. It started right up with no effort. After letting it run, I removed the valve cover and check the valve guide and it hadn't moved. One thing I was curious about though I looked inside the exhaust port and noticed the valve guide is protruding about and 1/8 inch inside the exhaust port. Don't if this is going to present a problem or not.
Thanks
Mike smirk
