Body Layout
Sonnax valve body layouts provide a detailed overview of individual units making it
quick and easy to determine what’s available for the specific valve body you’re working
on. Each layout:
Displays an exploded view location guide for individual valve trains
Identifies symptoms and recommended solutions for quality rebuilds
Provides active links to view specific part details
Lists any tools/fixtures required for part installation
Illustrates correct part orientation

With more than 60 layouts to choose from, these convenient, go-to reference guides are
valuable resources for any shop.
