Valve Stem Seal - the seal fitted over the valve stem in the cylinder head to control the oil that passes down the stem into the port.

This is the flat washer-type seal used on the inlet valves of the Rover V8. It limits the oil drawn past the inlet valve guide under manifold vacuum, reducing oil consumption and inlet-side smoke. It seats beneath the valve spring and works with the guide to meter stem lubrication.

For the 3.5L and 3.9L V8 petrol engines.

Frequently asked questions

What does the V8 inlet valve stem seal do?
The valve stem seal fits over the inlet valve stem in the Rover V8 cylinder head and controls oil passing down the stem into the port. This flat washer-type seal limits oil drawn past the inlet valve guide under manifold vacuum, cutting oil consumption and inlet-side smoke.
Which Land Rovers use this V8 inlet valve stem seal?
This inlet stem seal fits the 3.5L and 3.9L Rover V8 petrol engines in the Defender, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and Series II/III Stage One V8. It's the seal for the inlet valves specifically.
Is there a VIN limit on this valve stem seal?
Yes. This seal applies to V8 engines up to VIN LA921745, or engine number 38D23045A on Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. Later V8s used a revised valve stem sealing arrangement, so check your chassis or engine number before ordering.
What's the difference between the inlet and exhaust valve stem seals?
This is the inlet valve stem seal, a flat washer-type seal. The Rover V8 typically uses different seals on the inlet and exhaust valves, so fitting the wrong one can cause oil consumption or poor sealing. Confirm you need the inlet seal before ordering.
How many valve stem seals are needed for a Rover V8?
The Rover V8 typically uses one stem seal per valve, so eight inlet seals for a full set across the eight inlet valves. They're usually renewed as a set whenever the heads are off or a valve job is done.
