Factory 401 guide height needed ASAP.

My old guides where cut 1/2 to short machine shop says. Can’t fined what the factory height is . Any help would be appreciated. Car is supposed to be on its way to lake George for the Adirondack nationals in 5 days
Thank Paul

 

Call Russ or Matt Martin at Centerville Auto Repair. They have them. Matt sez clearance 2.5 3.5 and not to use bronze bushings.

 

I ordered all my guides from them and my valves from them for the cylinder head. On the website there’s a ton of great information. I couldn’t find anywhere where it says the factory installed height of the guide in the cylinder head. I also looked through a ton of factory literature

 

I did just send Matt an email. Thank you

 

Hope you can get it going in time.

 

Thanks for your help.got the heads back and started reassembling the block. New cam bearings,rod bearings, everything is clean and just waiting on a camshaft. Going to put the motor back in tonight to finish up on some exhaust work. Also run a s475 turbo on this motor. I run 12psi boost .

 

Outstanding. Let us know how it goes.

 

You put the snap ring back in place & facing properly Paul???
