CATERPILLAR-3034-VALVE-GUIDE

161-4485 is a valve guide for the Caterpillar 3034 engine, the precision bushing pressed into the cylinder head that keeps the valve stem moving in a true, controlled line as it opens and closes thousands of times a minute. Guide wear widens this bore over time, letting the valve rock slightly off-axis — the first symptom is usually excess oil consumption as oil works past the loosened clearance into the combustion chamber. Orange.net.za delivers this part fast, South Africa-wide.
