OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Dual Valve Spring Guide Boss Cutting Tool Rental Fee
Rental Fee $30.00
$100 Tool Core charged AT TIME OF SHIPMENT (refunded upon return per terms of service)

Dual Valve Spring Guide Boss Cutting Tool Rental is a tool designed to cut down the valve guide bosses to make room for the inner springs on dual valve springs. You can use this in a drill press, mill, or even a hand drill if you are careful. Just make your cut so the valve spring surface is flat, then be sure to use a DUAL valve spring shim beneath the springs to protect the head from the ends of your valve springs. We include a 9mm shaft so you can also use this cutter on FI Type 1 and Type 4 exhaust guides!

One side of this tool cuts the boss for the inner spring on dual springs, the other side of it is used to trim the top of the valve guide down for more clearance to the retainer. If there is less than .060" clearance between the guide and retainer at full lift, you can bend push rods!
