Hello
I just removed some Valves and Springs out of a RB30 head today and im wondering how i can get the Valve Guides out. Im aware there might be a special tool involved but is there another way of doing it.
Cheers

you will require a drift of the appropriate size to knock em out.

You have to put the head on the road and drift over it, that will get the guides out!

My question is do you realise when new ones are pressed in they need to be reamed to fit your valve stems?
Best left to a engine reco place to do em hey.

the head has to be heated up to the rite temp and then they get punch out with a proper guide drift if its not done rite they will shatter
