Can I Salvage
Breaking down and cleaning a '49 8BA flathead and got down to 2 valve guides that were stuck like no tomorrow. Tried to smack a bar thru the lifter bore? to push the guide thru to no avail. Fu I cracked a piece of both the lifter bores. QUESTION is: can it be repaired, with a sleeve?
Anyway I already salvaged enough parts to have already gotten my money's worth.
Peace

Try the 32 to 53 ford message board. I'm sure someone there can answer your question.

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. ...
