Meinl Weston Plastic Valve Guides

Post by thedancingsousa »

Is there any good, drop-in replacement for these? The ones on my 2250TL for the 3rd and 4th valves rotate out of alignment when I try to reinstall the valves after oiling unless I manage to align them perfectly, causing the valves to stick until I've pulled them out, made them vertical, and slid them back down. The third valve is the worst offender, and sometimes also sticks randomly, which makes me wonder if that could also be a faulty guide.
