Not sure how much truth is in it, I never proceeded as I found pair of heads with 2000 miles on them for less than it would have cost to reburbish 1 head.

I don't have the tools yet. Interesting.....is there a way to test the valve guides to see if they need to be replaced or not? If my valve guides test good, I'll just replace the valve seals and call it a day.
