Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 1984+ Harley?

No — this guide is specific to 1978-1983 Shovelhead engines. Later Big Twin models use different valve train geometry.

Is this an oversize bore or standard size?

This is a +0.001 oversize bore. If your valve stem is worn, you may need to match with the appropriate oversize valve.

What is valve guide replacement used for?

Worn guides cause excessive clearance between the valve stem and guide, leading to oil seepage into the combustion chamber and poor sealing. Replacing them restores compression and reduces oil consumption.
