New Style High Chrome Lycoming valve guides

Post by scottrsellers »

If your Lycoming engine was produced after July 2003 it should have their new style High Chrome valve guides which are intended to help prevent valves from sticking. The letter C is stamped on the cylinder head(see photo below) just above the oil drain back tube confirming the cylinder has High Chrome valve guides.
