Valve Guide - 11/32 .502 OD 2.240 OAL

The Valve Guide - 11/32 .502 OD 2.240 OAL (MPN VG1030) is a precision engine component designed for builders and mechanics engaged in high-performance cylinder head work. This valve guide is essential for supporting and aligning intake and exhaust valve stems, ensuring consistent valve travel and preventing wear that can compromise combustion seal integrity.

Featuring a 11/32-inch stem diameter, a .502-inch outside diameter, and a 2.240-inch overall length, this valve guide is compatible with many small-block and mid-range engine applications. The precision bore is designed to maintain concentricity to the valve stem, minimizing tip wobble and reducing wear on both the guide and valve stem. Proper installation is crucial to prevent oil seepage into the combustion chamber, which can lead to excessive oil consumption.

This valve guide is ideal for mechanics performing complete cylinder head reconditioning, restoration shops rebuilding classic engines, and performance enthusiasts upgrading their setups. Its specifications make it a reliable choice for ensuring longevity and performance in various engine builds.
