Valveguide o rings - change or not...?

[schioler]

hey guys - i have taken the engine apart and is about to
put it back together - i have changed every gasket, seal and oring so fare-
not yet the valveguide orings - should i change them aswell now that its open
or should i just leave them... ?

Change them now, you can't do it later, or, almost impossible to do later.

Edit, valve seals should be changed.

 

[schioler]

yes - that was also what i thought... i got the tools for it aswell - and a heatergun - thought of just heating up the
top with the heater to get them out...

It's not necessary to change those seals nor are they needed. You could end up with misalignment guide issues when driving the guides back in.
