Frequently Asked Questions
Match the exact year, make, model, and sometimes engine code against a current Shindy catalog or a distributor’s fitment chart. Do not rely only on engine size or a similar model name.
Some Shindy valve sets include both intake and exhaust valves, others are intake-only or exhaust-only. Check the contents description from the seller or a Shindy catalog for part 07-312 specifically before ordering.
Plan on new valve stem seals at minimum. Depending on wear, you may also need valve springs, retainers, keepers/collets, and possibly machine work on the valve seats. Head gasket and related top-end gaskets are also commonly replaced.
On most motorcycles and ATVs the cylinder head must be removed to properly replace valves and service seats and seals. Follow the specific procedure in your OEM service manual.
Shindy replacement valves are generally designed as OEM-equivalent replacements. For high-rpm or high-compression race builds, many riders choose dedicated performance or stainless/titanium valves and matched springs; consult your engine builder.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- service manual for the specific vehicle
- metric socket set
- torque wrench (low and mid-range)
- feeler gauges
- valve spring compressor (motorcycle/ATV type)
- soft-face hammer or mallet
- micrometer or caliper for checking valve stem diameter (optional but recommended)
- valve lapping tool and compound (if specified by the manual)
- magnet pick-up tool (for keepers/collets)
- engine timing tools or flywheel locking tool (as required by model)
Pro Tips
- Always have the OEM service manual open to the cylinder head/valve train section for your exact model.
- Measure old and new valve stem diameters and compare with specs to ensure proper guide clearance.
- Inspect and, if necessary, have a machine shop re-cut or lap valve seats when installing new valves.
- Replace valve stem seals and consider new valve springs if the engine has high hours or will be raced.
- Turn the engine over by hand several revolutions after reassembly to verify no valve-to-piston contact and that timing marks line up correctly.
- After first heat cycle, recheck valve clearances per the service manual.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not confirming exact model/year fitment before installation
- Mixing up intake and exhaust valves or their locations
- Failing to check or re-cut the valve seats to match new valves when required
- Not replacing valve stem seals at the same time
- Incorrect cam timing during reassembly
- Reusing worn keepers/collets or springs when they should be replaced
- Not using a torque wrench on cam caps, head bolts, and rocker components
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Shindy valve sets are generally positioned as OEM-equivalent replacement components for Japanese motorcycles and ATVs, aiming to match original dimensions and performance.
Improvements
- New components replace worn factory valves, restoring proper sealing and compression.
- Potential material or coating updates depending on application (must be confirmed in Shindy literature for 07-312).
Considerations
- Designed primarily as stock replacement; not necessarily a high-performance upgrade for heavily modified race engines.
- Always verify stem diameter, overall length, and head diameter against OEM specs for the specific application before installation.
