Valve Stem Seal for the cylinder head valvetrain on TDV6 and TDV8 diesel engines. Fitted to both inlet and exhaust valves, the seal presses onto the valve stem guide and prevents engine oil from being drawn into the combustion chamber past the valve stem.

A full set of 24 seals is required for 2.7 and 3.0 TDV6 engines; 32 seals are required for 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8 engines. Seals are replaced during cylinder head removal or rebuild, and are supplied here as a single unit.

Frequently asked questions

What does the valve stem seal do on a Land Rover TDV6 or TDV8 engine?
The valve stem seal fits onto the valve stem guide in the cylinder head and stops engine oil being drawn into the combustion chamber past the valve stem. It's used on both inlet and exhaust valves of the 2.7 and 3.0 TDV6 and 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8 diesel engines.
How many valve stem seals are needed for a full engine rebuild?
A full set of 24 seals is needed for the 2.7 and 3.0 TDV6 engines, and 32 seals for the 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8 engines. These are sold individually, so order the full count for your engine. They're replaced during cylinder head removal or a valvetrain rebuild.
What are the signs a valve stem seal needs replacing?
Worn valve stem seals typically show as blue-grey smoke from the exhaust on startup or after idling, along with rising oil consumption on TDV6 and TDV8 diesels. The seals harden and lose their grip on the valve stem over time, letting oil seep into the combustion chamber. They're usually renewed whenever the cylinder head is off.
Where in the engine is the valve stem seal located?
The valve stem seal sits at the top of each valve guide in the cylinder head, where the valve stem passes through into the port. On these TDV6 and TDV8 diesel engines it seals both inlet and exhaust valves. Reaching it means removing the cylinder head or camshafts, so it's a specialist engine job.
