 The valve guides are pressed into the head and the valve stem seal seat directly on top of them. These only need replaced if the valve is sloppy in the guide.

 this is a top end rebuild right? is this something that can be done in a weekend? what about having the head ceramic'd to prevent rust and "look nice" how what that work? I eventually want to have NO exposed ferrous metal in my engine bay to prevent rust and make clean up easier.

I just might have a camera for you jm. its only a 2mp (MORE than enough for this kind of stuff) but I think it has a macro mode which is what you really need. I will dig it up and see if it does.

how do you remove a head? can any head from another engine fit my xfi engine? is it hard to YANK the whole head? they have a 3cyl (93 metro) at the local pic and pull they want $195 for the engine which alas I can not afford but I may ask what the cost is for the head. if its cheap enough and not too hard to remove in a day at the pic and pull I might get it and do a rebuild over the winter as I get the cash for the parts. Then I don't have to stop driving the metro to do it. is the head between the 93 metro and 94 xfi the same except for the cam?
