I need to get a tool made to remove and insert valve guides. (The straight type without the shoulder.)
Can anyone give me the inner and outer diameter measurements of the guides so that I can get someone with a lathe to make one. I think a piece of round bar one end turned down to just below the outer diameter (slight sloppy fit so it’s not tight in the block when in use.). The other end turned down so that it fits inside the guide leaving a shoulder so when used as a punch will push the guide in or the old guide through and out.
I would also appreciate if anyone knows of a person in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area who could/would be willing to make me one.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
