    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Question for all you racers........

I need to buy valve guides for my 79 gs750. I realize there is a big difference in quality of material depending on the company you buy them from. This motor will have some mods like headwork & pipe & jetting. These are mods that will probably heat up the motor more than a stocker would.
Who should I be looking for to buy valve guides from?

I by only from the best!!!(That?s my opinion) I have worked with A.P.E on several engine mods and there tech staff is knowledgeable, friendly and has no problem offering advice to the novice mechanic. I would sugest them to anyone that wants to re-build there engine.

I can't seem to find any for the 750 1978 motor. This is the 2-v motor. Are there ones from another motor that might fit?

Unless you feel very confident and have prior experience replacing guides, I would send the head out and have it done by a pro. http://www.starracing.com/ is a good choice. A valve job will be necessary after new guides are installed. I would recommend letting them install their own guides and have them do a competition valve job. Total cost should be around $300 plus shipping. A very critical area for good flow is around the valve seat. They use a "serdi" machine to do the seats, which does the seat, the top cut, the bottom cut and the radius blending into the port all in one cut. Awesome machine.....BadBillyB
 
I got all my parts, valve guides, SS valves and pistons rings etc from
Orient Express.
Not saying they are better than the others, just these are the guys I used.


10 years+ and many 10's of thousands of miles no problems.


I had a local machinsit do the work.
