valve guides

[Alan Pritchard]

Sounds about right
Generally speaking the "hole" is made to a standard size and the shaft
machined to suit (ie undersize) however when reaming the hole size can
be varied slightly depending on lubricant used and reaming speeds etc...
But a simple hand ream with a thin oil should produce a suitable result
(going from engineering knowledge, not engine building lol)

Guys,

Does anyone know what size the valve guides for a KV engine (2226cc) 
need to be reamed to once fitted?
Valve stems seem to be around 7.96mm, so I'm guessing 8mm would be 
right... can anyone confirm this for me?

Cheers
