Hi Guy
I'm running a cvh rs turbo with big valves the stainless 214n type
i read on your site that you need to use bronze guides with stainless valves
but i am using the standard guides and i am now worried that my engine is going to fail
can you confirm that i need to use bronze guides with these valves ?

I could see that question coming!
First thing is to ask the supplier. Second - you can spot the chrome plating because it's only on the stem and a different color from the stainless, plus it's way harder.
The plasma nitriding gives the valves a smokey-black sheen. If the valves are from G&S in UK they may well be of the latter type.
