Construction & Design:
The valve guide stopper is crafted from manganese bronze, a material known for its excellent frictional properties and resistance to heat and wear. This choice of material ensures that the stopper can withstand the harsh environment inside the combustion chamber while maintaining precise tolerances.
The +0.003 inch outer diameter specification provides a slight oversize fit compared to standard valve guides, which helps to secure the stopper firmly in place and prevent unwanted movement during engine operation. This precision machining contributes to consistent valve operation and reduces the risk of premature valve guide failure.
