Valve Guides

Other Products
  • The valve guide has the task to absorb the transverse forces which affect the valve stem.
  • The valve guide centers the valve on the valve seat insert and conducts a proportion of the heat from the valve head, via the valve stem to the cylinder head.
  • Due to this extreme strain, for the valve guides mainly the material and its properties are a decisive factor for the product quality.
