Heating the block helps a bit, Just watch the valve seats don't come loose.

heat up the head in the oven gently.

i've also heard using liquid nitrogen to cool the guides ready for insertion. Helps get them in easier.

real real question is, is it recomended or necessary to change the guides when changing valves. I am building a new head for the new build. and I plan to get new supertech valves etc.
