    Yeah but again this is a side project I'm doing for fun. I know I'm not gonna make a lot if any off of em. I haven't even pulled em apart yet to see if it needs guides. I was just wondering where I could get some inexpensive parts so I don't lose my ass entirely on em lol.

    you can buy cheap parts .... theres alot of stuff on Ebay some is some ok and i get good deal on stock OEM valves . i use new valves in most all stock head rebuilds as it takes more time to clean the old valves and re face them and stem them only to end up you may only have a 1/2 set of valves that are ok used valves ... you have to know what the cheap parts can take . valve train is not a place to go to cheap .when valves come apart or fall down from busted springs . pistons will drive valves backup in to the head or die trying this is when things get very ugly
