So i've got my bronze guides and my head is all apart, except for the valve guides. I've tried punching them out but that doesn't work. Is there a ring holding in the top or are they threaded? any thing would help, thanks.
anyone? i need these out.
Pretty sure you need an air hammer to get them out and back in...
They are pressed in, not threaded. You need a special tool with an air hammer or press. The tool is basically a rod with the same diameter as your valve stem and it has a ledge to push it down. You will damage them if you don't use this tool. I got mine from the snap-on guy at work.

just take it to a machine shop it will cost you anywhere from $60-$100 to have them taken out and new ones put it.
