Default should valves on yb have slight play when open
im inspecting my 3 door head after my piston let go.

all the valves when open have a bit of side to side play, fairly minimal but play, is this normal?

yes, they will move a tiny bit but shouldnt move loads

to be fair, if you have the head off, i would be inclined to stick new seals and guides in

the seals are cheap but the guides arnt, but at least you kow its done then
