]]> Comment on I reinstall the valve guides and start cleaning the parts by Jim Phoenix http://www.jimphoenix.com/2011/12/i-reinstall-the-valve-guides-and-start-cleaning-the-parts/comment-page-1/#comment-3482 Jim Phoenix Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:06:58 +0000 http://www.jimphoenix.com/?p=820#comment-3482 Bob, No nothing says Plibond is needed, but I was afraid that if the seals had been installed properly (which they weren't) then maybe the Pliobond would help keep them in place. In the end, it was obvious that the seals were never pushed down onto the new guides. Now all the Pliobond does is give me peace of mind that they'll never come off. I've used a lot of Pliobond in my aircraft mechanic past and it's rated to high temps and once set up, needs a jackhammer to release (or soaking in MEK). I've never had nor seen a Pliobond failure and I've used it in a lot of oily and high heat applications, not to mention the primary (and only) glue holding aircraft fabric in place, so I'm not worried about it at all. This was certainly a case of the head rebuilder forgetting to push the seals down. Car is running great now with no issues save for a leaking heater core which I have out on the bench at the moment.
