Replacement of Valve Guide Bushings in the Cylinder Head (CH)
When replacing old valve guide bushings, it is important to consider that the bushing may have Seizing / welded in the cylinder head bore.
Seizing / Welded of the valve guide bushing is a process where the bushing tightly "sticks" in the bore due to:
-
thermal expansion of metals,
-
lack of lubrication,
-
corrosion,
-
incorrect installation.
Force Required to Press Out the Valve Guide Bushing
| Bushing Fit Condition | Press Force (tons) | Force, kN |
|---|---|---|
| Normal fit (no seizing) | 1–2 tons | 10–20 kN |
| Light seizing | 2–5 tons | 20–50 kN |
| Heavy seizing or scoring | 5–10 tons and above | 50–100 kN and above |
In case of heavy seizing, bushing damage is possible and mechanical processing may be required.

| M8 | 4030 kg | 39.52 kN |
| M9 | 5020 kg | 49.28 kN |
| M10 | 6388 kg | 62.65 kN |
Force Developed by the Mandrel (Strength Class ISO 6.8)
| Thread Size | Force, kg | Force, kN |
|---|---|---|
| M20 | 11990 kg | 117.68 kN |
Important Recommendations
-
The mandrel develops significantly higher force than the studs.
-
Improper use of studs may cause them to break, leading to damage and additional costs.
-
To facilitate removal:
-
Heat the cylinder head with an industrial heat gun or oven to 180–250 °C.
-
Cool the bushing using an aerosol freezer, liquid nitrogen, or cold spray.
-
-
Use pin punch tool to start valve guide moving.
-
If the bushing does not come out:
-
Stop applying force; do not use excessive effort.
-
Reheat the cylinder head.
-
Try light hammer taps on the puller body to help break the bushing loose.
-
Do not increase lever arm or pressure excessively to avoid damaging the cylinder head.
-
-
If the bushing still won’t budge, proceed to alternative methods:
-
Drilling out the bushing,
-
Using a hydraulic press, etc.
