Frequently Asked Questions

What does +0.002 oversized mean?

The bore is 0.002 inches larger than stock to fit worn cylinder head bores that no longer hold a standard valve guide snugly.

Is this for intake or exhaust?

This is an intake valve guide only. Order the exhaust guide separately if both need replacement.

Will this fit Shovelhead engines before 1978?

This part is engineered for 1978-1983 Shovelhead models. Earlier Shovelheads may use a different guide size — verify with your engine build specs.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Valve guide installation requires a press and proper alignment tooling. Most riders have this performed by a machine shop.
