valve guides :- teh bain of my life recently

They were behind the blow up of engine no567 on the Corsa track toy. They broke up and fell into the combustion chamber - mashed between head/piston/valves.

By the sounds of this problem its just wear and tear thats ovaled the guides

Yeah, that was the main failure on the Tuscan!!! 4 litres of oil in 1000 miles!

Got harder ones put in mine seeing as tho the originals only lasted 12k!

Cheese I think!

One of the many weak points on pre 2004 engines were the valve stem oil seals!
