Frequently Asked Questions

What does +0.003 oversize mean?

The guide bore is 0.003 inch larger than stock, restoring proper clearance in cylinder heads where original guides have worn loose.

Will this fit both Panhead and Shovelhead?

Yes — this guide is compatible with Panhead 1948-1965 and Shovelhead 1966-1977 cylinder heads.

Is this for intake or exhaust?

Exhaust valve position only. Order the intake guide part separately if you need to replace both.

Do I need new valve seats when installing new guides?

New guides often require a light hone of the valve seat to ensure proper seating. Have a Panhead/Shovelhead machine shop handle installation and seat work.
