WTF! I thought these things were bulletproof
My duc 2003 ss with only 3000miles needs new valve guides (quoted $1000 can). As some of you may know i bought this in Fla with 1641 miles on it and never really felt it ran right. I put on about 1500 miles this summer. The shop that may do the work asked me if i wanted the larger displacement kit for just the cost of the parts (any advice?). Also is gonna use an aftermaket guide that is a little more resiliant, and said something about "swirl cutting the valves" . I have no idea what this means but he was talking about a modest HP gain from this. Power does not interest me that much I just want a crisp linear accel right to rev limiter. Or do I forget it and pick up a new BMW r1200s or f800s.
