[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1007474, member: 3828"] Fully understand the permissions thing. No need to carry the weight of everyone's file hosting on the FREE TO ALL USERS forum. Go find somewhere else to host your files (obviously not talking to you Travis). As for the valve guide material upgrade, yeah, why not? Yes, the root cause of the ticker problem was deemed ([I]by Momma Y[/I]) to be bad seals causing oil starvation, and the new ones [I]do seem to resolve the issue[/I]... but if'n you gotta do a ticker rebuild and replace them anyway, why not go with a superior guide if one is available? Due to not seeing the pdf file I don't know what made these better, probably a harder material less prone to wear with or without adequate lubrication, but it sounds like a valid premise to me. And just another case where it seems worthwhile to discuss things that were [I]already previously discussed [/I]when some new guy shows up... ;) [/QUOTE]
