Actually, grey cast iron is usually used instead of steel, and it's usually chilled. The choice of materials has more to do with production cost than performance. Cast iron is easier to ream and mach

We use an alloy called Colsibro, which is soft, wicks away heat like copper and is an absolute ^*&#$rd to machine.With chrome or tufty valve stems, we can use very high lift on a very small guide/ste

Yup. I don't exactly recall the alloy I used most often but it was something like AM435 (but don't take that to the bank--my neurons are notoriously toasted). I'd be happily tapering the nose on a gu

We had a bronze threaded business that was inserted like a heli-coil into the stock chilled cast iron stock guide then reamed. They stopped all the problems we had with guides. Best thing I ever did

What I've found with many street engines over the years is that a lot of the sizing problems with bronze guides can be diminished by boring the guide a few thousandths oversize, single-knurling the g

Sounds like the best of both worlds. Where did you get them? We had a bronze threaded business that was inserted like a heli-coil into the stock chilled cast iron stock guide then reamed. They stoppe

Thanks for the info! This type of information is just the sort of thing that needs to be included in any efforts you might make in republishing the Competition Guides. I for one am looking forward t

Our loacal machine shop was the the installer. You might just call around and ask. It was quite a simple deal and then they would also replace the threaded in portion when it was worn and, bingo , yo

Regretfully, I am about finished with the writing and there are so many things to remember and work out this is one I simply forgot. Nope, it is not in there. Maybe a suplement in a couple years. Cau

Good to know though that you have a ready market. I can't imagine a single person in FOT who wouldn't buy at least one copy, and every other Triumph list for that matter. Regretfully, I am about fini
