1600 valve guide "depth"

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by nobayinhell, Jul 23, 2019.

  1. Can anyone tell me the length of guide that should be protruding at the rocker end of 1600 cylinder heads?

    I have some valve guides to install and can't find where I wrote the measurement!
     
  2. On a sample of one dual port head: guides about 64mm long, stickout on rocker side 6mm.

  3. Legend :thumbsup:

    Any more for any more?
     
  4. Are you taking an average ;)?
     
  5. I'm calling a second referendum :D

    Do you think this measurement actually matters by the way? None of the books seem to specify one so I'm assuming it doesn't make much difference.

  6. Checked another one, and that’s 6mm as well. All seem to be the same, so assume that’s the right figure. Might as well stick to it.
     
  7. I will go with that then, thanks for checking.
