Sure but if they were cracked I would be a bit concerned about the head itself. Did the head casting crack around the guides as well? The guides are pretty cheap, depending on the source they run between $5.00 and $8.00 each. It is my understanding that Volvo doesn't sell OEM replacements anymore but there are plenty in the aftermarket.

Didn't see any stress cracks in head, just the guide. I have been reading a lot. Do you have to heat head up to press guides out and new one in?
