KIBBLEWHITE Valve Guide Seal – Manufacturer Ref. 71014-16
Valve guide seal designed for intake and exhaust, manufactured in the United States by Kibblewhite. Made from 100% solid Viton® for superior chemical and thermal resistance compared to standard elastomers. Designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this seal fits rods with a diameter of Ø 4.50 mm (≈ 0.177 in).
These seals are recommended in conjunction with Kibblewhite spring kits: when using these kits, the use of Kibblewhite seals is imperative due to the specific clearances and tolerances of the springs. Ideal for motorcycles, quads, and SxS oriented towards road, trail, enduro, or competition, it fits many models — including YAMAHA YXZ 1000 R (2023), HONDA CMX 300 Rebel (2023), and ARCTIC CAT XF 9000 (2019).
Reference part for engine maintenance operations on valve guides: precise fit, durable material, and compliance with manufacturer specifications for reliable restoration of the timing system.
