Guys thanks for the suggestions. This builder and I are going to go over the motor tomorrow evening to see what should be done. I do know that the guides were some Speedway items I had purchased back in 2003. They had a problem with a vendor at the time and the guides were oversized. He didn't want to wait for new ones to be sent to me on Speedways dime (good on them!) so he turned them down and pressed them into the block. At least I believe that is what he did. He runs a machine shop that specializes in high performance engines, its just that I don't think he sees many flatheads. I provided a lot of documentation so there shouldn't have been any gray areas, unfortunately there was.
