KMP Valve Guide Inlet T400743
The KMP Valve Guide Inlet T400743 is used when a cylinder head is reconditioned and the valve gear has to be restored to its original specification.
About this part
The valve train opens and closes each cylinder thousands of times a minute. Small amounts of wear here show up as lost compression, oil burning or a rough idle.
When to replace it
- Blue smoke on start-up from worn stem seals or guides
- Low compression on one or more cylinders
- Burnt or pitted valve faces and seats
- Weak or broken valve springs found on inspection
Before you order
Have seats cut and valves lapped by a machine shop when fitting new valve parts, and check spring free length against the engine data before reuse.
Match the number stamped on the part you are removing, or the number in your engine or alternator manual, before ordering. Part numbers are shown for reference so the right replacement can be identified.
Questions
Should I replace all the valves or just the damaged one?
On a generator engine that runs long hours, most workshops replace the full set of the affected type so the head wears evenly afterwards.
