3 between the guide bore 29 and the lower face end 33 of the valve seat body 31 the guide bore 29 as shown on the left side of the longitudinal valve axis 3 in the drawing has at least one flow opening 53 that enables a flow of fuel from the valve interior chamber 55 defined in the radially outward direction by the lengthwise bore 17 of the seat holder 15 to an annular groove 57 embodied in the fuel flow direction between the guide bore 29 and the valve seat face 49 this annular groove 57 when the fuel injection valve 7 is open communicates with the injection ports 43 of the perforated body 37 to achieve a precise guidance of the valve closing body 21 and hence of the valve needle 19 during its axial motion the diameter of the guide bore 29 is so embodied that valve closing body 21 which is spherical for example protrudes into the guide bore 29 with little radial spacing the exact adjustment of the stroke of the valve needle 19 and thus of the static injected fuel quantity during the steady open state of the valve is effected in the fully assembled fuel injection valve 7 by comparing the measured actual quantity of fuel injected from the valve to the desired predetermined set point quantity and perhaps in order to set the stroke of the valve needle 19 exactly distending the perforated body 37 in the direction of the longitudinal valve axis 3 in the region between the second weld seam 51 and the first weld seam 41 in the direction toward the valve needle 19 using a tool 58 and thereby possibly plastically deforming it in such a manner.
