Hi,
New to the forum. I need help with what to get for my corvette so I can get it on the road. I've had it for almost two years and had yet gotten to drive it!!
Here is what is under the hood and more.
Sorry the image of the list is so big.
What I'm needing are the right valve guides. Can anyone tell me what I need to get?
Thanks
Are there any reputable engine builders in your area? If so pull the heads, take them in and have them put a good set of valve guides in it for ya. The only real variables are material and dimensions.
Good luck with your project!

Hi Bobbo76
I'm so not a mechanic! I have no idea how to pull the heads. I just need to get the valve guides for my husband (trying to surprise him) so he can fix this damn car! Its been sitting for too long and I want us to be able to enjoy it instead of keep saying "some day when we get it running"! Cant surprise him if I have to ask him to pull the heads... Thats why I came here to the forum!!
I would be hesitant to simply order a set of valve guides. Odds are if the engine is not running because it one or more of the guides is worn/damaged there are other issues with the head or engine that will also need to be addressed.
If you go to your local engine builder or parts store and ask for a set of valve guides for GM LS3 heads they may have other parts that will work.
