318 Magnum Dropped Valve

New valve guides installed??? Just wondering if it was possible you had a tight one.
that was my thought as well.

many moons ago i got lazy and snapped together a set of magnum RT heads without checking the guide clearance. wound up dropping #2 intake, but not immediately. on teardown inspection it was evident that it was too tight, naturally pulled both heads and sent 'em out. surprisingly that was the only one tight, all the rest were within spec.

lesson learned there.
