Frequently Asked Questions

What does +0.003 in oversize mean?

The guide bore is 0.003 inches larger than stock, requiring corresponding oversize valve stems or a precision rebore of the valve seat.

Do I need both exhaust and intake guides?

Check your engine — wear may affect both guides. KPMI makes separate intake and exhaust part numbers.

Can I install this myself?

Valve guide installation requires a press and proper tooling. Most riders have a qualified machine shop or engine builder handle the job.

Will this fit my 1978+ Shovelhead?

No — this guide is for 1966–1977 Shovelheads. Later Evolution and Twin Cam engines use different guide sizes.
