    I am considering changing my valve guides during my major service. I am debating between using the factory updated sintered steel guides or aftermarket alloy guides. My mechanic has suggested CHE precision bronze valve guides. They are much less expensive than the stock Ferrari guides.

    I only want to do this once and not worry about this issue again.

    Anyone have experience with CHE precision guides? Any other recommendations?

    If prices were equal would you recommend the factory guides over aftermarket?

    Cant remember which ones I used but they came from Recambi. Hey Daniel, which ones do you sell?

    Sintered Steel 360 guides. Experts who know far more than I recommend them as the best option. That is what Mr. Helms installed in my heads.

    I'd certainly trust Dave Helm's experience and knowledge on the matter...
