Exhaust Valve Guide (2nd Oversize) - the guide pressed into the cylinder head that supports the exhaust valve stem, keeping the valve concentric with its seat as it opens and closes.

This is a 2nd-oversize guide, with an enlarged outside diameter for fitting into a reamed guide bore during cylinder head reconditioning. It also conducts heat away from the valve stem into the head.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 2nd Oversize Exhaust Valve Guide used for?
The exhaust valve guide is pressed into the cylinder head to support the exhaust valve stem, keeping the valve concentric with its seat as it opens and closes. This 2nd-oversize version has an enlarged outside diameter for a reamed guide bore during head reconditioning. Fitted to Jaguar 2.9, 5.3 and 6.0 litre engines across the XJ Series III, XJ40, XJ81, XJS and X300.
What does 2nd oversize mean for this valve guide?
2nd oversize means the guide has an enlarged outside diameter, cut to fit a cylinder head whose guide bore has been reamed out for reconditioning. Check which oversize your head has been machined to before ordering, as a standard or 1st-oversize guide won't grip in a bore reamed to 2nd oversize.
When are exhaust valve guides replaced?
Exhaust valve guides are replaced during a cylinder head overhaul when they wear, letting the valve rock and seat poorly. Worn guides on these Jaguar engines cause increased oil consumption and blue smoke as oil drains past the stem. The oversize guide restores a tight fit in a reamed head.
