They are bronze guides and they have to enlarge the stock hole and press in the bronze.

I called them yesterday.
talked slant six's
he said he has not build/ported a slant six head in 15 years.
their now all over Toyota heads.
they have over size SS valves for $79 + shipping..
said the bronze valve guides are 6 weeks away from restock.
Said if I want port/valve work it would be cheaper to get a local guy to do work.
nice guy.

Interesting that they are out of stock on the guides...

Many shops can do replacement guides but ask what size and material they use.
There are cast iron, and bronze solid guides and different "sleeves" and "coil" type guides out there so know what the shop plans to use.
