I've never really replaced valve guides either, but this head has 190k on it, so who knows? The shop that's doing the work I trust implicitly, and they're saying the guides are worn. I don't remember the number they tossed out - and it wouldn't make sense to me if I did - but I think it was 32 somethingorothers.
They did not say it was necessary to replace the guides, only that they were worn... I may skip them entirely, but I figured since the head is getting a 5-angle valve job and everything is apart, replacing the guides wasn't a bad idea...
If nobody has a comment on the Federal Mogul part, I may skip it. After the valve job and all that I'm into this head $400, and that's a lot of money to spend on a 1980 900T just to pass smog. :) I don't much relish another $240 plus labor to throw in Saab OEM guides, y'know? :)
