Goodson Valve Guide Hone
I know this is a lot to ask, but does anyone have a Goodson 11/32 valve guide hone I could borrow or rent? They have been on back order for a while and they don't know when they will be getting them in. My engine shop switched over to that style for valve guides and doesn't have that size yet. I need to get my heads put back together and I'm getting tired of waiting! Thanks

Amazon is showing( 5) 11/32" flex hone`s left in stock as I post this, at a cost of 21.70.
Don`t forget the lube and a big baking pan to hone out the guides over, I use good old WD-40 without a issue.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not the type of hone I'm looking for. The hone is ridged and made by Goodson, there about $350.

If the problem is just a little tight fit, try some valve lapping compound in the guide and some on an old valve stem in a drill or work it up and down and round and round by hand.

You did not post what type of guides you are using, but if they are guide liners, then just get a goodson ball type broach, you can get two different sizes for way less than 350 bucks!
