Re: Knocking
Yup...valve guide. You'll need to pull the head, and might as well do both sides. Parts are cheap!
Could be better, could be worse...could be riding in a hearse!

Re: Knocking
oh indeed. I already have the heads off and my shopping cart loaded at california corvairs BUT...... I've got a line on a motor and tranny for $250. Rather than doing any machining, I thought I would pick that up and start with those heads. OR just use that whole motor since its together. Decisions decisions.
I questioned the bore because I know the valve guides are brass and these are magnetic so not brass. hmmmmm.
Also, one pushrod is mangled, there are 2 different kinds of lifters in each bank. Somebody was in there and didn't know what they were doing. Caused a cascade malfunction.

Re: Knocking
There are too many people in this world who should never be allowed near a tool! I tore down an engine last year with a missing top piston ring, mis-matched lifters and push rods, badly bent push rod tubes, and gasket sealer everywhere. Early cylinders, pistons and rods, late cam, early crank, late case, and two very different heads - one side turbo, the other, not sure...haven't looked it up, but non-turbo. The poor engine was in the process of self-destruction! But hey, it was cheap, and the case was good!

Re: Knocking
My favorite was a "set" of cases where the two halves came from different engines. The main bearing diameters were noticeably different just by fingering the transition.
