Valve Spring
Sold each
The Porsche Valve Spring is a critical component
of the valve train system fitted to numerous Porsche 911 and Porsche 964 models
from 1965 to 1994. Designed to maintain precise valve operation throughout the
engine's RPM range, the valve spring ensures that intake and exhaust valves
close correctly after being opened by the camshaft.

Diagram Ref No 13
In Porsche's legendary air-cooled flat-six engines, accurate valve control is essential for maintaining combustion efficiency, engine performance, reliability, and long-term durability. The valve spring works continuously under extreme mechanical stress, cycling thousands of times per minute to keep the valve train operating correctly.
Whether you're rebuilding a classic Porsche engine, restoring a 911, or carrying out a cylinder head overhaul, replacing worn valve springs helps maintain factory performance and reduces the risk of costly engine damage.
What Does the Valve Spring Do?
The valve spring is responsible for returning the intake and exhaust valves to their closed position after each opening cycle generated by the camshaft.
Its key functions include:
- Maintaining correct valve timing operation
- Ensuring valves close fully and consistently
- Keeping the valve train under proper tension
- Preventing valve float at higher engine speeds
- Supporting engine compression and combustion efficiency
- Protecting the valve train from instability and excessive wear
Without adequate spring tension, valves may not close correctly, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage.
Why Does the Valve Spring Fail?
Valve springs are constantly subjected to compression, heat, vibration, and high engine speeds. Over time, these factors can lead to material fatigue and a gradual loss of spring tension.
Common causes of valve spring failure include:
- Metal fatigue from repeated cycling
- High mileage wear
- Prolonged exposure to engine heat
- Over-revving the engine
- Corrosion or contamination
- Performance modifications increasing valve train loads
- Age-related weakening of spring material
- Improper engine assembly or valve train geometry
As spring pressure decreases, valve control becomes less precise, particularly at higher RPM.
Common Symptoms of Worn Valve Springs
A weakened or damaged valve spring may cause:
- Loss of engine performance
- Valve float at higher RPM
- Rough idle
- Engine misfires
- Increased valve train noise
- Reduced power output Inconsistent compression readings
- Premature wear of valves, guides, and camshaft components
In severe cases, a broken valve spring can result in valve-to-piston contact and major engine damage.
When Should You Replace Valve Springs?
Valve springs should be inspected whenever the cylinder heads are removed and replaced if any signs of fatigue or wear are detected.
Replacement is strongly recommended:
- During complete engine rebuilds
- During cylinder head refurbishment
- On high-mileage engines
- When installing performance camshafts
- If valve float is present
- When spring tension falls below specification
- During preventative maintenance on restoration projects
- Whenever a spring shows signs of corrosion or damage
Many experienced Porsche engine builders replace all valve springs during rebuilds to ensure consistent valve train performance and long-term reliability.

This is the standard valve guide used in early air-cooled Porsche 911/930 cylinder heads. It’s a plain (non-hydraulic) guide that locates the valve stem in the head; when worn it causes oil burning, loss of compression and poor valve seating — so they’re commonly replaced whenever heads are rebuilt

What the part is (technical data / dimensions)
Application:
Porsche 911 / 930 from about 1965–1989 (varies slightly by model and year; early cars both intake & exhaust, later years sometimes exhaust only).
Standard size (typical OE): ID ≈ 9.00 mm, OD ≈ 13.06 mm, length ≈ 51.2 mm.
Why these guides should be replaced
- Valve guides are a wearing item. Replace them when any of the following occur or when you rebuild the engine head.
- Excessive valve stem play — worn guide ID internal diameter lets the valve rock and misalign with the seat , poor sealing, reduced compression and power.
- Oil consumption / smoking — worn guides allow oil to wick down the stem into the combustion chamber, causing blue/grey smoke and fouled plugs.
- Hard starting, rough idle, misfire — poor sealing / valve timing irregularities from misaligned valves.
- Valve wobble that leads to premature valve stem wear or valve seat damage — once stems or seats are damaged you need deeper surgery.
- If a guide is cracked, broken, or has excessive ovality — must be replaced.
- Whenever you remove and refinish seats / replace springs / do a full head rebuild — replacing guides at that time is cheap insurance and ensures correct alignment.

Maintain the performance and reliability of your classic Porsche engine with this OE Match cylinder head intake valve. Designed to precisely replicate the original Porsche specification, this valve ensures proper airflow, sealing, and combustion efficiency in early air-cooled engines.
Fits:
Porsche 911 S/TU/T/E 1965 - 1969
Porsche 914-6 1970 - 1976
Diagram ref no 9.
Manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant steel alloy, it delivers outstanding strength, thermal stability, and wear resistance — essential for the demanding environment of Porsche’s horizontally-opposed engines. Each valve is precision-ground for perfect seat contact, ensuring smooth intake flow, consistent compression, and long-term durability.
Function:
The intake valve allows the precise entry of the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. Properly sealing valves are critical for maintaining compression, fuel efficiency, and smooth idle. A high-quality OE Match valve ensures exact timing, optimal airflow, and factory-level performance across the rev range.
Why & When Replacement Matters
Why:
Continuous exposure to heat, carbon build up, and mechanical stress can cause valve face wear, pitting, or bending, leading to loss of compression, rough running, and reduced power.
When:
- During engine rebuilds or top-end overhauls
- When compression loss or poor idle is detected
- If valves show visible wear, burn marks, or stem play
- As part of routine maintenance for high-mileage or performance engines
Replacing with an OE Match intake valve restores engine efficiency, reliability, and preserves the authentic performance character of your classic Porsche.
