I purchased McFarlane's Valve Guide Cleaner/Reamer (see P/N VGR-CN2 on attached form for dimensions). It's free to anyone interested, just send me a PM with a mailing address.

You're a good man John It's not the same reamer. The McFarlane one has a different pilot hole size portion. Standard reamers have a different pilot-hole/body-size combination. I surmise the McFarlane reamers are custom made, hence the higher cost.
