Valve Grinding and Guides

Posted by Glenn Spyksma on Sep. 17, 1998 at 19:36:12

I am currently rebuilding a 1929 model A engine.I have a reciprocating valve grinder that I will use to grind the valves as described in Jim Schild's repair manual.
Jim describes that the valve should have been numbered by the orignial valve grinder.
If I am installing new guides do they need to be fitted to the valves?Is there any work required for the valve guides?Or is Jim saying that since each guide alignemnt is slightly different, once the seat is cut, the guide and valve should be numbered to the bore?
I searched for info on this site but no one has asked this quesiton before.
Thanks for your help, all advice is welcome.
Glenn
