Troubleshooting Head Components

Mopars have soft valve guides. Mic the stems, then mic the guides. I would really have the guides replaced without all the measuring.

And then he is in for a valve job.
Both requiring machine shop labor.
At that point might as well get the head resurfaced while it’s there.

I thought he was asking if he could avoid all that cost.

From the looks of the valve and chamber colors, I think he can.
Especially since the rest of the motor is over 100k.
