Volvo Valve Guide - CRP 1378960

Product Information

A valve guide is a cylindrical component in an internal combustion engine that serves to align and support the intake and exhaust valves as they open and close. The valve guide ensures that the valves operate smoothly and maintain proper alignment with the valve seat for optimal engine performance. They are typically made of durable materials like cast iron or bronze to withstand heat and wear.

• Excessive Oil Consumption: Worn valve guides or seals can allow oil to seep into the combustion chamber, leading to noticeable oil loss
• Blue Smoke from Exhaust: Burning oil due to oil leakage into the combustion chamber often produces blue smoke from the exhaust
• Poor Engine Performance: Misalignment of valves caused by worn guides can result in incomplete combustion, loss of power, or rough idling
