I believe there are some Briggs ones that will work.

i tried briggs part # 262001 today it just fell right threw the hole in the block, so no good there..

I've talk to a small engine repair shop before and they said that they normally use the briggs ones. Unfortunately they couldn't recall wich ones. I know. I'm really helpful.

I bought a couple of universal guides from goodson and was going to turn down the od after pulling out the cast iron ones. Then someone (I think atkrider) mentioned that the new replacement tec valves are a few thou narrower than the early ones but the briggs 5hp valves are correct. I bought a briggs set and cut them down cut a retainer groove and problem solved. I can look for the thread if you like. It was called fox and rupp build I think.
