Alright, I got one for all you gurus out there.

I am in the process of helping rebuild my buds SR20DE. He got it from Nippon. It has flat top pistons and the normal goldish valve color. I am am assuming that it came from japan but I have a hunch that it might be one of the 10:1 compression ratio DEs(flat top pistons?). Not sure but anyway.

Anyway the problem is that the valve guides that were purchased for a USDM SR20DE dont work for the exhaust valves. There is about .030" slop. So my question to anyone who knows is what valve guides will work and/or will 240 valve guides work?

Any help on this would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys.
