Keith,

I know about weak guides, I broke a nissan one a few years ago. The sintered iron guides are not very good and are very brittle. This is why I made my silicon bronze guides up. Also, the guides only break where they are not supported by the head. I no longer have this problem.

I've run 10,000 miles like this with no problems. I know this might seem a little unorthodox, but its worked ok for me..
