After thinking about it, maybe it has to do with the fact that there is not 
much meat to a mopar head. I know that my 409 heads are much meatier, and 
therefore have a greater bearing surface to help with holding the guide. 
Maybe machining the guides with a small lip on them so they could not suck 
down, this may be avoided. I am talking street engines and you are talking 
race. I will not even try to match your race expertese. I am glad we had 
this talk. My Maxxie is due for a light overhaul soon and I will ask my 
engineguy if he has expierenced this. He has been around since the 60's with 
my dad.
Thanks
Donnie
