Thanks, Robin. I have had to repair more than a few that were mistreated that way.
My favorite valve guide design has always been the H.N. White triple leg guide with one leg much wider than the other two. This made misorientation virtually impossible, or, as Old 'Bill' Johnson used to say, "idiot proof".
