I fully know what a knurled guides ID looks like and have done the process many times myself on heads ( mainly cheap owners who have Chevys ) that people want a cheap repair on, and the process does make a pathway for more oil to leak down the guides it's done on.

In my opinion it has no place being done on a motor that will re-use original valves, nor any motor that will be anything but a grocery getter for the owner, and never be called upon to spin more then 3500 rpm.

Also note that when I knurled guide is fully worn again those guides are now way looser before they where knurled!
