My guess would be check with Del West or talk to Ferrera.

Thanks, I'll check with them.

Some idiot, not naming names, but his initials are Brent Lykins, ordered custom valve guides for some FE heads that I can't find seals for.

They are exhaust valves though, so I'm gonna see what options I have on the table.

Can you machine it to .500” or smaller ?

This is about the best selection if you haven’t looked already...

Yes, that was next option if I couldn’t find something readily available.

Not sure if its the style your looking for but based on dimensions supplied SBI shows a 122-1357 or 122-1358 will work up to a .531 guide

They are both in stock at either Liberty or PBM
