Knurling valve guides is a used car lot fix, a term known among them as "good e-nuff to get it off the lot" repair....IIRC you said the motor had 3 or 4K on it since the repair? if so thats about a normal length of time before you start noticing some issues.....
Thanks Grant, actually I started noticing problems right out of the box. At first I blamed it on break in but I soon started thinking that 0.020"+ adjustment and the occasional tight as can be valve gap probably weren't normal. Ya, the knurling thing, never going there again. New guides are just not that expensive (saying this before I get the bill, of course). man oh man, my first full on engine job. Fragged! Doing it right this time.
