By providing support and alignment for the valves, they ensure that the intake and exhaust processes occur smoothly and effectively. Proper functioning of the valve guides is vital for maintaining engine compression, reducing wear on the valves, and ensuring optimal airflow. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn or damaged valve guides are essential for the longevity and reliability of the NT855 engine. The valve guide in the Cummins NT855 engine is an essential component that supports the movement of the intake and exhaust valves. It ensures proper alignment and prevents lateral movement, which is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance.
