    P/S going to the scrape yard to look at 2 3.4 engines out of the car. Does not know what they came out of. Where are the numbers to check for engine size accuracy and year of engines.
    I picked up the heads from the shop and asked the owner " Where are the bronze guides you told me where uncommon to see as in never before seen by your shop of 40 years. He showed me and i took some pics of what he pointed to. My magnet stuck to them like glue. Is bronze magnetic?...Was i wearing my " I'll believe anything" t-shirt today?........Tom

          They may look bronze in colour but it is most likely oil staining. All the aluminum heads used iron guides.
