Valve guide for Stage 2 heads

I am having my heads worked over and one of the valve guides is cracked. Does anyone know where I could get one. Or will I have to have one made by the machine shop. TIA

it was probably too long, more than likely it will have to be semi-fabricated from a guide for a different application, no big deal.

I can get you the part # of the ones I used recently; we had to turn down the locator on the lathe to match the ones in the head and shorten them slightly once they were installed. Basically I meaured the OD of the spring cup locator and the length of the guide, picked the closest one, and ordered some.

I later called Chapman and they verified that they essentially do the same.
