If Mark has 'em, and you can get Greg B to measure them to yay/nay them, I'll ferry them between the 2 shops for you. Been making that trip a lot, lately.

Mark stands behind all of it for a year, so I would expect them to be fine.
Can they do anything to make the size on the valve stem uniform and use a smaller guide?

Call me inexperienced but this is the strangest thing I have ever heard. Correct me if I am wrong but the guides are made of Bronze and the Valves of harden steel. It would be logical that the guides would wear long before the valve stems. Maybe with a million miles on the engine with multiple valve jobs -just maybe I could buy this. But I have yet to see a 928 go a million miles. Actually from what i have seen with used and abused engines in the 150K mile catagory is very little wear. These engines are not like GM engines and could with care well go a million miles.

head part number is 928.104.348.2R Intake is 45mm, exhaust is 40. its an EARLY head with shims at the base of the springs, not spring cups.
so those above part numbers are what i need? i can't seem to find any info on the real early head valve numbers...

Moral of the story, change your oil when it starts to look dirty.

got the rings installed on the pistons. now the fun part of wrist pins and c clips. Question guys. i numbered the rods, but for the life of me i can't remember what way they face.... part numbers to the front of engine or back...... WSM does not seem to say.. at least from what i can find.

Oil when its working, looks dirty, its the detergent additives that keep stuff suspended in the oil, but if it goes through the filter I suspect its not a wear factor on the engine.
