Frequently asked questions

What does this exhaust valve guide do?
This exhaust valve guide is pressed into the cylinder head and supports the exhaust valve stem, keeping it centred as the valve opens and closes. It maintains a consistent valve seal and draws heat from the stem into the head. This OEM guide is made by AE or Hepolite for 2.25 and 2.5 diesel engines.
Which Land Rover diesel engines does this guide fit?
This OEM exhaust valve guide fits the Series 2, 2A and 3 and the Defender (1986-2006) with 2.5 naturally aspirated and 2.5 turbo diesel engines, plus 2.25 diesel on Series models. It carries part number 568689. Check whether you need inlet or exhaust guides before ordering.
Why do exhaust valve guides need replacing?
Exhaust valve guides typically need replacing when the bore wears oversize, because the hot, hard-working exhaust valve gradually enlarges it. Worn guides cause poor sealing, valve seat damage and higher oil consumption. During a cylinder head rebuild the guides are usually renewed and reamed to the correct stem clearance.
