Valve Guide Set by Tomei. Key specs: material 5191(Cn-Sn-P alloy). Valves are usually replaced during a cylinder head rebuild, along with guides, seals and a valve job.

Key features

  • ■Excessive buildup of carbon will also hinder performance and increase wear rate. When there's a small opening at the end, it will increase the carbon buildup rate as a funnel effect
  • ■A defective seat cut. When the seat cut's centerline across the main 45 degree face is offline from the valve stems centerline by more than 0.01mm, this can cause increased abnormal wear rate
  • Made from 5191(Cn-Sn-P alloy)
  • Available in 9 engine options
  • Available in 3 option options

What it does

Burned or bent valves cause misfires and low compression. Guides that wear let valves wobble and burn oil. Using the correct part for your exact engine keeps oil pressure, sealing and timing where the engine was designed to run, and doing related parts at the same time saves taking it apart twice.

Installation & tips

  • Have the valve seats cut or lapped so the new valves seal fully.
  • Valve stem seals: Always new with new valves.
  • Head gasket: The head comes off for this job.
  • Put the new part next to the old one and compare the shape, mounting points and connections before you install it.
  • Work on a cool engine with the vehicle secured, and use a service manual for your vehicle for torque specs and procedures.
