Frequently asked questions

What does the exhaust valve guide do?
The exhaust valve guide is pressed into the cylinder head and supports the exhaust valve stem, keeping it accurately centred as the valve opens and closes. It guides the valve on and off its seat for a consistent seal and carries heat away from the stem into the head. It suits 2.25 and 2.5 diesel engines.
Which diesel engines does this exhaust valve guide fit?
This exhaust valve guide fits the Land Rover Series 2, 2A and 3 and the Defender (1986-2006) with 2.25 and 2.5 diesel engines, both naturally aspirated and turbocharged. It carries part number SFR47. Confirm whether you need inlet or exhaust guides, as they differ.
Why do exhaust valve guides wear on these diesels?
Exhaust valve guides typically wear because the exhaust valve runs hot and works hard, so the stem gradually enlarges the guide bore. Worn guides cause poor sealing, valve seat wear and rising oil use. On a head rebuild the guides are usually renewed and reamed to restore correct stem clearance.
