@YoshiJohnny thanks!

@YoshiJohnny The valve guides I already have from SPS and a specialized machine shop is going the place them for me and recut the valve seats together with new valves. But I was having a look at garage manual and saw that there is a difference in shape between the intake and exhaust valve guides. The APE guides are all the same shape, I presume that's not a problem?

okay thanks You say YJ is the man to ask, how can I contact him?

Hey thanks, Do you mean the shim above bucket won't go with the APE valve guides? The APE HD springs are also planned in the overhaul.

First of all I'm new to this forum and I'm starting to rebuild a gs1000E engine. I have to overhaul the valve head and I'm thinking to use the APE bronze valve guides. I see in the garage repair manual that there is a difference between the intake valve guide and the exhaust valve guide. When I have a look at the APE kit they are all the same, no difference in shape between the 2. Has anybody some experience with these?
