When You Need New Valve Guides

Replace valve guides if you have:
- Excessive valve stem play
- Oil consumption through guides
- Smoking on deceleration
- Failed valve seals (guides may be worn)
- Valve train noise
- Head rebuild or refresh

Installation Notes

⚙️ Difficulty: Advanced
🔧 Requires: Press, reamer, precision tools
🔧 Critical: Must be reamed to final size after installation

Pro Tip

💡 Always replace valve seals when installing new guides. Worn guides damage seals, and old seals won't seal properly on new guides.
