Twin Cam Top-End Maintenance
When performing a top-end refresh on your Twin Cam, selecting the right valve guide is crucial. This KPMI bronze guide is an excellent choice for restoring factory clearances.

Common questions
What does '+.002 oversize' mean?
The +.002 oversize specification means the guide's bore diameter is 0.002 inches larger than a standard guide. This size is used when the original guide or valve stem has experienced slight wear, helping to restore proper clearance.
Will this fit my 2014 or newer Harley with a Milwaukee-Eight engine?
No, this KPMI valve guide is specific to Twin Cam engines from 2005-2013. Milwaukee-Eight engines utilize different valve guides, and this part will not be compatible.
Do I need to ream the cylinder head after installing this guide?
Installation procedures can vary. While this guide is designed to address wear, some applications may benefit from reaming the cylinder head for optimal concentricity and fit. We recommend consulting your service manual or a qualified machine shop for precise installation instructions specific to your engine.
