Exhaust Valve Guide is pressed into the cylinder head to support and align the exhaust valve.

It locates the valve stem so the valve seats squarely on its exhaust seat, and conducts heat away from the stem into the cylinder head casting. For 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines.

Frequently asked questions

What does the exhaust valve guide do?
The exhaust valve guide is pressed into the cylinder head to support and align the exhaust valve. It keeps the valve stem centred so the valve seats squarely, and conducts heat from the stem into the head casting. Fitted to 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines.
How many exhaust valve guides are needed for a cylinder head rebuild?
A 4-cylinder petrol engine has one exhaust valve guide per cylinder, so four are typically needed for a full head overhaul. Most rebuilders renew the inlet and exhaust guides together while the head is off, so order the matching quantity for your engine.
Is fitting an exhaust valve guide a DIY job?
Fitting an exhaust valve guide is typically a machine-shop job, not a home repair. The old guide is pressed out of the cylinder head and the new one pressed in to an interference fit, then reamed to suit the valve stem. It's usually done with the head removed and on a press.
What are the signs a worn exhaust valve guide needs replacing?
A worn exhaust valve guide typically shows as blue smoke from the exhaust, raised oil consumption, and a noisy or poorly seating valve. Excess stem clearance lets oil draw down the guide and the seat wear unevenly. Replacing the guides restores valve sealing on these 4-cylinder petrol engines.
