An inlet check valve is mountable to a valve body that, in turn, is mounted to a high pressure pump. The inlet check valve has a removable inlet seat with a first through-hole forming an inlet path and functioning as a valve seat. A valve is positionable over the first through-hole. An inlet guide has first, second, third and fourth through-holes alignable with respective first, second, third and fourth through-holes of the inlet seat. The third and fourth through-holes receive fasteners to mount the inlet check valve to the valve body.
