Here's an example of the kind of work I do: Back in the early '70's, I had a '64 Chevelle with a 283 that needed a valve job...sent the heads out to be machined, and the machine shop called to tell me that ONE valve guide was worn pretty badly...he could ream it out and use one oversize valve, or I could spend a few more bucks and replace the guide and use a standard size valve. Since I knew that I might just be the guy doing the NEXT valve job, I had him replace the guide so it matched the others.

MY rule of thumb: DON'T screw "the next guy," 'cause "the next guy" just MIGHT be YOU!
