Courtois - Valve Guide Reviews
Anonymous review via Feefo - 2025-06-21
Put these in and started to suffer from a frequently sticking first valve. Eventually pulled them out again and compared them to the originals. The replacements were a slightly different shape, slightly thicker and made from a softer, mire pliable material. The one causing the sticking problems had bent 'arms'. I put the originals back in and all was fine.
The supplier responded:Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback, I was sorry to hear that these valve guides weren't suitable for you. It can sometimes be difficult to find the right valve guide for a specific model however I'm confident we'll be able to help if you wouldn't mind please providing me with more details on the instrument that you are looking to source valve guides for?
Kind regards,
