Hi Mike,

That’s not something we see, we do see on occasions 1 or 2 guides with some extra wear but never have we seen what you are describing.
Early on the previous owner of CHI had some guides made locally which were probably softer in material than what we would have liked but they still did not wear in just 3k miles.

We have since moved to a CHE type guide, but I think the same thing would happen. You may need to have a look at your rocker geometry, or the lube the heads are assembled with. These are just suggestions I not trying to tell you what to do, or that you have done something wrong. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Many Thanks
Scott March
