Hey Guys I have a case 580d first off. Okay my issue is I live in a small town, we have no machine shop. I've taken out valve guides of many gasers, I've never done a backhoe engine. It's the 207D in a late 80s case 580D. My #1. question is am I safe to press them out myself? I know in cast iron heads stuff cracks. Should I preheat them then try and press them out? #2 question Also I can't find in my owners manual if the exhuast guides and intake guides are all the same highth. Right now 4 of the guids are lower then the other 4. I'm in Dyer need, as my backhoe is setting in a pond right now. I dropped a valve but luckley it didnt hot the piston. Okay now #3 question is there valve guide seals. When I pulled it off there was only valve stem seals, and nothing over the guides, which was weird wouldn't it smoke? It started smoking but that's prolly from the bad valve guide and hent push rod. I'm freaking out and trying to get my equipment out of this pond lol inclosed is a pic of the valve guides at different lengths ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. My email is Gregoryjohnston77@gmail.com if y'all have any insight thank you all
