I have used bronze valve guides and have always had trouble with them, I've=

Great article and sleuth work on figuring out why bronze guides and cast ir=
on heads are a bad idea in this month's Healey Marque Magazine. Love the te=
chnical jargon, ie all black and yucky. Good job explaining all the technic=
al stuff.
