need some head work advice

[raul arrese]

gonna ask here cause i couldnt get an answer some where else , i picked up some heads from a buddy and they came with no valve guides installed , but he gave me a bag with .002 oversize guides , will these go in with no problems , figure i would heat the heads and freeze the guides ?? or is .002 too much ?

You need to measue what size the holes are right now.
Someone around here should know what the interference should be.

the holes are un touched right after factory guide was removed , i just dont know if 2 thousandth is to much ??

Valve guide fitments are normally a one shot deal. As said above you need to measure the bores in the head.
There is a valve guide fitting punch you can buy but if you have a good machine shop near you can get one made for probably the same if not less money.
