GUIDES & SEATS

Worn guides lead to oil consumption and poor valve seating, while recessed or cracked seats can cause catastrophic engine failure. Whether you are performing a stock rebuild on a vintage Beetle or upgrading a high-performance sand rail, our selection of hardened seats and high-durability guides provides the longevity needed for the most demanding environments.
