Valve Guides for cossie
I have been told that depending on where you buy valve guides for cossie engines, they either come with some sort of clip or not. What that all about ?

the clip sets the depth that they get pressed in the head. just a spring-ring in a groove on the outside of the guide

I take it they are needed then, or can you get away with guides without clips ?
