Valve guides?
Anyone have the size, or part number, for the actual valve guides in a set of '91 Iron 3.1 heads, and a set of '95 Aluminum 3100 heads?

Let me offer this reply
When my 2.8 heads were rebuilt, the guy said I needed several guides.
He pulled out several guides from a "pile" (Brass ones) and inserted. Then trimmed them to fit the need. Meaning length thru/into combustion chamber area of valve.
These were the same type of guides used on "majority of heads" the guy had thru the shop doors.
From Honda to Small Block Chevy to Mercedes & Ford, etc.
In other words, no true big deal.
