lighter weight in the valve train...probably not an issue unless you're planning some big rpm.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

besides lighter weight----it makes it simple to change to bronse guides by using a thin guide-liner and then the smaller stem vale compared to reboring the guide for a 3/8 liner

my guides are already shot, so I am looking at replacing guides anyway. Correct me if I am wrong but are bbc guides not replaceable.

They are replaceable. Drop a guide once in a 427, made a hellva noise

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
