[QUOTE="FJRMGM, post: 249684, member: 164"] Kiki, the guides and seals had a new part number when they replaced them. They replaced all the exhaust valves but not the intake. The problem was not the guides - it was the too tight oil seals that did not allow enough lubrication to the hotter running exhaust valves. They were only going to replace the exhaust valve guides/seals but I asked them to replace the intake with the new numbers at the same time for peace of mind. I had to pay $75 for the parts but the labor was free since the other was under warranty. No headwork done other than cleaning off the carbon buildup. I actually got to see/hold the old #2 cylinder exhaust valve and guide that was loose - I could make it "click" in my hands so it was really loose. At 44k miles my FJR now runs like it always should have but didn't - STRONG... [/QUOTE]
