Common questions
Is this valve guide for intake or exhaust applications?
This KPMI valve guide is specifically for exhaust applications. KPMI offers separate part numbers for intake guides.
What does the 0.001-inch tolerance mean?
The 0.001-inch tolerance refers to the precision manufacturing tolerance, ensuring an OEM-spec fit for proper valve stem clearance in your M8 engine.
Do I need to replace both intake and exhaust guides?
The need to replace both depends on your engine's condition and rebuild scope. It's wise to inspect all guides; if one is worn, others may also require service, especially on high-mileage engines.
