Valve Guide for the cylinder head valve train of the Rover V8 petrol engine.

The guide is an interference fit in the cylinder head and locates the valve stem, keeping the valve concentric with its seat through every opening cycle and conducting heat away from the stem into the head. The valve stem seal fits over the upper end of the guide.

Supplied as a single guide. Replacement is carried out with the cylinder head removed, and the guide is reamed to the correct stem clearance after fitting.

Frequently asked questions

What does the valve guide do in the Rover V8 engine?
It's an interference fit in the cylinder head that locates the valve stem, keeping it concentric with its seat through every opening cycle and conducting heat away from the stem into the head. The valve stem seal sits over its upper end.
How many valve guides does a Rover V8 head need?
Each valve needs its own guide, so a full set covers every valve in the head being worked on rather than a single guide for the whole engine. This item is supplied as a single guide.
What's involved in replacing this valve guide?
Replacement is carried out with the cylinder head removed, since the guide is an interference fit. It's then reamed to the correct stem clearance after fitting, making this a machine shop job rather than a home repair.
Which Land Rover and Range Rover models use this valve guide?
It fits the Defender (1986-2006, 3.5L V8 to VIN WA152501 and 4.0L V8 EFI), Discovery 1 (1989-1998, 3.5L and 3.9L V8 to VIN MA081991), Discovery 2 (1998-2004, 4.0L V8), Range Rover Classic (V8 EFI from VIN JA610294) and Range Rover P38 (4.0L/4.6L V8).
What's the difference between this valve guide and the OEM version LGJ100900G?
This is the aftermarket-grade guide; LGJ100900G is the OEM-grade equivalent guide for the same Rover V8 applications. Both fit the same engines, so the choice comes down to quality tier and budget rather than fitment.
