Factory fresh valve train components to assure optimal economy, performance, low emissions, and smooth running. Anything you can do to keep the bottom-end of the engine together and working well, and then have a fresh and tight cylinder head, you will experience the maximum performance from your engine. Remember worn valve guides can contribute to the premature wearing of new valves.
Aftermarket parts are a reasonably priced and good alternative to OE products. We often supply aftermarket products in place of OE parts that are no longer available as well.
Some items will be better than stock or considered an upgrade from the OE design in the aftermarket brand.
Other items will work as a less expensive alternative to stock.
We will not sell a product that we do not believe in, so rest assured you are fine with the aftermarket brand in most applications!
If you have any questions, contact our customer service team to advise on the best aftermarket products for your Volvo.
