Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an intake or exhaust guide?

Exhaust. For intake guides, order the intake-specific part number.

What does +0.004 oversize mean?

The bore is 0.004 in larger than stock to accommodate worn valve stems. Use with matching +0.004 oversize valves.

Do I need to bore the cylinder head?

No — this guide is a direct press-in replacement. It restores proper clearance without machine work.

Will this fit my 1978+ Shovelhead?

No — this part is for 1948-1965 Panhead and 1966-1977 Shovelhead only. Later models require different guides.
