M5 SV Valve Guides

Post by Angelo »

I need new Valve Guides for my 1929 M5 350 SV

On stripping the head I find the one valve guide has broken off where it should be under the spring. My engine has previously been reassembled like this as no broken part came away on stripping down. Bizarrely the engine has been running well like this but I want to make it right.

Any recommendations for new guides? Also which way do they press out? Anything I need to know? Never done something this old and SV

Thanks

Update - a very good friend - Chris Thomas came to the rescue and in no time at all removed the broken one and fitted a replacement for me. Onwards and upwards
