Buying guide: Genuine, OEM and aftermarket valve and camshaft parts

Genuine valve and camshaft parts carry the Land Rover part number. OEM valve and camshaft parts come from original-equipment manufacturers. Aftermarket also covers value and off-road brands.

Budget Parts lists Genuine, OEM and aftermarket options in this collection. The available quality tier varies by part, so check the individual product listing when comparing options.

Single part, set or kit. Valve stem seals, camshaft bearings and tappets are listed singly and, in some cases, as sets or kits, such as a valve stem seal set of 24 for the 3.2 litre I6. Read the title to see what you are ordering.

Before you order

Parts here are listed for the Land Rover Series, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Freelander and Range Rover families, including camshafts titled for the 2.25 litre engine and valves titled for the 5.0 V8. For older models covered by the catalogues, use the Land Rover parts catalogues to help identify the correct part number before ordering.

1. Start with the engine. Many titles name the engine and others do not, and one model can have parts listed for more than one engine, so check the engine code or engine size first, then the part number.
2. Check inlet or exhaust, and LH or RH. Valves are titled Inlet or Exhaust, as are some valve guides, rocker arms and camshafts, and some parts are also titled LH or RH. Order exactly what the title states.
3. Check the labelled size or groove type. Where a listing includes a size or a groove type, it is shown as labelled. Order the specification your engine or rebuild requires. If you are not sure which specification applies, confirm it with your engine builder before ordering.
4. Check single part, set or kit. Read whether a listing is a single part, a set or a kit, and order the quantity your engine needs.
5. Quote the VIN and engine number with any fitment enquiry. Give the full VIN or chassis number exactly as it appears on the vehicle, and the engine number where you have it. The VIN helps check production changes against your vehicle, but some engine parts changed by engine number instead, so give both where you can.
