valve guides on a jx engine

[last red star]

has any one had the problem of oversize valve guides on a diesel head

Oversized? as in 'worn out' allowing the valve to slop about?

yes im changing the valve guides cos they are worn ,pressed out the old ones and the new ones just fall in . the head must of had over sized valve guides

Hmmmm strange......Looks like you need to take the head to a motor engineering workshop where there will make something else fit for you. Guides are soft and easily machined so with the proper machinery this shouldn't be too much of a job.
