The function of the valve guide is to guide the movement of the valve, ensuring that the valve performs reciprocating linear motion, enabling the valve to correctly fit with the valve seat ring, and transferring the heat from the valve stem to the cylinder head. There are two types of valve guides: integral type and insert type. The integral valve guide directly processes the valve stem hole in the cylinder head; the insert type valve guide is press-fitted with a cylindrical tube into the guide hole in the cylinder head. The installation of the valve guide requires the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the valve guide to be processed and then pressed into the valve guide hole of the cylinder head or cylinder block. The inner hole is then precision reamed. To prevent axial rotation, a retaining ring positioning groove is provided, which cooperates with the positioning retaining ring to prevent the guide from moving and falling into the cylinder during operation. A small clearance is generally left between the valve stem and the valve guide to allow the valve stem to move freely in the guide.

Why is it generally not recommended to modify high beams to LED?

Because LED lights are not focused, it is generally not recommended to modify high beams to LED lights. The following are the functions and benefits of LED: 1. Good durability: The structure of LED components is simple, with excellent impact resistance and shock resistance, not easy to break, and can adapt well to various environments. 2. Energy-saving and low cost: In cars, the energy consumption of LED components for the same daytime running lights is only 1/20 of that of halogen lamps. The cost of LED components has also decreased significantly year by year, and currently, the cost and price are still decreasing by more than 20% annually. 3. Fast response speed: LED lighting only requires microseconds, which can be quickly lit when used on taillights and turn signals to achieve better warning effects. When used on headlights, compared to xenon lamps and halogen headlights, it has a higher response speed, providing better protection for driving safety.
