Inlet valve stem seal for the cylinder head valve train.

The seal is pressed onto the inlet valve guide boss and wipes the valve stem as it reciprocates, metering the small quantity of oil needed to lubricate the guide while preventing crankcase oil being drawn down the stem into the inlet port. Once the sealing lip hardens or splits, oil passes the guide and shows as blue exhaust smoke on start-up and after overrun, together with carbon build-up on the valve head and seat.

Applies to the 2.0L 16V TiVCT turbocharged petrol engine. Inlet side only - the exhaust valve stem seal is a separate part. Stem seals are renewed as a complete set whenever the cylinder head is dismantled.

Frequently asked questions

What does the inlet valve stem seal do?
The inlet valve stem seal wipes the intake valve stem on the 2.0L petrol engine, metering the small amount of oil needed to lubricate the valve guide while stopping crankcase oil being drawn down into the inlet port. A hardened or split seal lets oil past and shows as blue smoke.
How many inlet valve stem seals are needed?
Typically one inlet valve stem seal per intake valve, so a full engine set is several seals. They're usually renewed together whenever the cylinder head or valve springs are off, since the labour to reach one seal is the same as reaching them all.
Is this the inlet seal or the exhaust seal?
This is the inlet valve stem seal for the 2.0L petrol engine, the intake side only. The exhaust valve seals are a separate part and are often a different material, so check which side you're working on before ordering.
Which vehicles use this inlet valve stem seal?
This seal fits the 2.0L petrol engine in the Discovery Sport, Freelander 2, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494 and Range Rover Evoque L538. Several applications have a VIN start point, so confirm your engine and VIN before ordering.
