Actually the chrome shop just did their job. You ruined them by sending them to a chrome shop!
At least the way I see it!

Bob!
Don't feel bad, we all make mistakes.
I made the same one once. About 1976.

I have the Jims blocks fitted on one bike, but dont have enough miles on it to comment on how good they are.
I've been hearing good things about these.

Re: beat that horse
I really don't see allot of difference between the -53 and the -73 tappet guides. my pan set had the ear broke off (freakin hippy's) I welded it back on but I'm not completly happy with it, plus someone that didn't know any better chromed them. A friend handed me a nice looking set of 73's. I'm going to run solid tappets.
Ya'all now of any issues with running these trouble head guides???
