Valve Guide Std. Size

[Pan58]

Where can I find the figure of the standard Valve Guide O.D. or the other way around the std. Valve Guide Hole I.D. of the Cylinder Head? What are the std Valve Guide figures for a 1958 FLH?

Thanks

The manual says standard guides measure 0.5655".

Thank you Andy, but where and in which manual did you find that?

I thought I looked all the manuals and books, but didn't find the figure of this std size.

Thanks

Thank you all for your help. Could find this figures now. Shame on me, was only looking at 58 and later manuals (service and parts) and there only under engine specifications. Never looked at older manuals and shop datas, which I learned now are often very helpful.

Talking about Valve Guides, are you using Oil Seals for the Valve Stems? I didn't find those in manuals, even not in parts manuals. If yes, what can you recommend?

Thanks Martin
