Whats the best way to remove and refit valve guides?

Do i have to make sure they go back where they came from when refitting?

Do i have to make sure the valves go back with the guides and ports they came out of?

Any info much appreciated!

the right tools and you need to get the seat machined as well once they are in.

And the right tools are??


So the valves can't just be lapped in i take it. Or will the difference in the valve guide possition (although very slight) be too much??

Any good articles or guides on cylinder head rebuilds??
