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 is the exhaust valve guide and what does it do?
The exhaust valve guide is a sleeve pressed into the cylinder head that supports and aligns the exhaust valve. It holds the valve stem on centre for a square seat and draws heat from the stem into the head. Used on 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines.
How many of these valve guides will I need?
You'll typically need four exhaust valve guides for a 2.25L or 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol head, one per cylinder. Inlet and exhaust guides are usually renewed together during a head overhaul, so check both counts before ordering for your engine.
Can an exhaust valve guide be fitted at home?
Fitting an exhaust valve guide usually calls for a machine shop rather than home tools. The worn guide is pressed out, the replacement pressed into an interference fit, then reamed to the valve stem clearance. This is done with the cylinder head removed and supported on a press.
What symptoms point to worn exhaust valve guides?
Worn exhaust valve guides typically cause blue exhaust smoke, higher oil use, and noisy or poorly sealing valves. As stem clearance opens up, oil is drawn past the guide and the valve seat wears. New guides restore valve sealing on these 4-cylinder petrol engines.
