Frequently Asked Questions

What does +0.002 oversize mean?

The guide is machined 0.002 inches larger than stock bore. It requires honing to final size during engine rebuild for proper valve stem clearance.

Will this fit my 1984+ Shovelhead?

No — this part is for 1978-1983 Shovelhead engines only. Later models use different valve train geometry.

Is this for intake or exhaust?

This is an exhaust valve guide. A separate intake guide (different part number) is required for the intake side.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Installation requires a valve guide press or hammer-in tool and honing equipment to size the guide to your engine's specifications.
