That is not a machining issue, that is a wear issue, so all wear numbers associated with it are as such. My intakes had not tapered, according to my builder, so they are actually fine.
That said, how is the progress coming on re tapping that hole? Have they gotten started on it yet? I'll tell you, it's not even my car, you don't know me, and I don't know you, and you are damn near 2K miles away from me,......... but that $#** with that bolt breaking on you, makes me mad every time I think about it. I kid you not. |

Considering your head builder's credentials, nobody in here can blame you for putting your consideration into what he has to say. :cheers:

I kid you not. The Z is on the back burner right now. Full on move to a new city is in progress. I will have update on the Z in a month. |

That is and was my one and only point. And it is most certainly correct. . |

Anyone that has had the dealer do the "wiggle" test that came back with NO problem - how much did they charge for the check?
I'm having an oil leak (pan) looked at, and will ask for the valve guide check also (08 with 24k miles). Thanks - Jim |
I just got my heads back from TSP they measured the guides and told me they were all over the place up to 0.003" out of round at the top of the guide and worse as you got to the bottom

What did you have done to your heads? |
Replaced the guides with bronze ones replaced the exhaust valves with SS and did a port and polish just getting the car put back together, first fire should be tonight

I dropped off my new to me 07 this morning to have a few things done one of which is checking the valve guide wear.
They didn't seem the least bit surprised that I was asking for them to be checked so I must not be the first. Will update with results. |
