Valve Stem Seal seals the point where the valve stem passes through the cylinder head valve guide, controlling the oil reaching the stem and preventing oil being drawn into the combustion chamber or exhaust port.

Fitted at the top of the valve guide beneath the valve spring, it is used on the petrol engines and is renewed during cylinder head or valve spring work. Worn stem seals are a common cause of oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke on start-up.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR078819 Valve Stem Seal do?
The LR078819 Valve Stem Seal seals where the valve stem passes through the cylinder head valve guide. It controls the oil reaching the stem and stops oil being drawn into the combustion chamber or exhaust port on the petrol engines.
Which engines and models use this valve stem seal?
This valve stem seal fits petrol engines including the 5.0L V8 AJ133 and 3.0L V6 supercharged petrol, across the Discovery 4 and 5, New Defender, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494 and Range Rover Velar.
What are the signs a valve stem seal needs replacing?
Worn valve stem seals typically cause oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke on start-up, as oil seeps past the seal into the combustion chamber. They're usually renewed during cylinder head or valve spring work.
How many valve stem seals do I need?
An engine has one valve stem seal per valve, so several are typically needed. They're usually replaced as a complete set during cylinder head or valve spring service rather than individually, to keep oil control consistent across all valves.
