5hp factory valve guide...pressed in?
I might send it out. Theres a Kart engine company that'll fit both valves with the bronze EZ Bore guides at a good price. I can have him cut the seat for the new exhaust valve at the same time. However, if I choose to do it myself, does Briggs offer a drop in replacement made of bronze? I do not like the factory iron guides....too much wear.
That's one reason I want to have it done. I don't have a ton of time (or tool money) to spend on it and I just want it to be done right. The intake valve is perfect...perfect seal with a nice wide pattern on the seat. Hardly any guide play, though I might have a bronze guide installed there too for durability sake.
