Trying to get my Fairbanks Morse 3HP ZC back together.
Took the valves out, the seats and faces look great.
The stems have minimal wear, they check at .373 to .371.
But the guides are really loose. Checking with gauge pins I get .387 on the intake, .382 on the exhaust.
I have no idea what they are supposed to be. Is this acceptable for it being an open valve train?
It's just going to be a running display motor unless I can come up with something for it to run, still it's working days are over. Just want it to start easy and idle down.
Thanks!
