Product Information
Valve guide standard. Inlet and exhaust.
12 required per engine (price is each)
This is the standard valve guide used in early
air-cooled Porsche 911/930 cylinder heads. It’s a plain (non-hydraulic) guide
that locates the valve stem in the head; when worn it causes oil burning, loss
of compression and poor valve seating — so they’re commonly replaced whenever
heads are rebuilt.

Why these guides should be replaced
- Valve guides are a wearing item. Replace them when any of
the following occur or when you rebuild the engine head.
- Excessive valve stem play — worn guide ID internal diameter lets
the valve rock and misalign with the seat , poor sealing, reduced compression
and power.
- Oil consumption / smoking — worn guides allow oil to wick
down the stem into the combustion chamber, causing blue/grey smoke and fouled
plugs.
- Hard starting, rough idle, misfire — poor sealing / valve
timing irregularities from misaligned valves.
- Valve wobble that leads to premature valve stem wear or
valve seat damage — once stems or seats are damaged you need deeper surgery.
- If a guide is cracked, broken, or has excessive ovality —
must be replaced.
- Whenever you remove and refinish seats / replace springs /
do a full head rebuild — replacing guides at that time is cheap insurance and
ensures correct alignment.
