Valve Guide
Detroit Diesel

This valve guide is a critical internal component that directs the movement of the intake or exhaust valves within the cylinder head of a diesel engine. It maintains precise alignment and ensures proper sealing between the valve stem and the combustion chamber. Made from high-quality materials, it withstands the high temperatures and pressures associated with engine operation. Proper valve guide function is essential for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. It also aids in controlling oil consumption by preventing excess oil from entering the combustion chamber. Over time, valve guides can wear, leading to decreased compression and power loss, so replacing them is vital for engine health.
