Briggs valve guides

[WLB]

Anyone know a good place to get bronze valve guides for flathead Briggs?

Go to the hardware store and buy some thàt will fit around your valve then modify it to fit your engine

Get some good ones from a good kart racing shop. Get them properly installed and honed to match your valves. Stock Briggs guides are pretty loose in a new engine and get real loose quickly.

Thanks Tim. The kart shops around here (at least the ones that I know of) have abandoned the flathead and do OHV, shifter, and Yamaha engines. After shifting my search online to karts I found EZ-Bore Motorsports that have good valve guides. Good price on them also. I can install and size them.

Ebay has tons of them. I think its #63709......the factory guides work fine. if there is concern of them being too loose use a .2485" or .248" reamer instead of the factory supplied finish reamer. I can put them in, a few other guys on here can too.
