  1. Anyone any experience in replacing valve guides.. ?

    My experience with cars back in the day was to put a thread inside the guide ( tap ) and using a puller to remove them.. replacing them we use to shrink freeze them before driving them back in ..

    Any experience on these Ducati valve guides would be great ..
     
  2. i had mine done by a firm in Northallerton after it dropped a valve
    The bloke told me that he heated the head up before pulling the guides out because doing it cold often removes metal and makes them loose requiring oversize guides.
