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

How does the valve guide work in the Rover V8 cylinder head?
Pressed into the head as an interference fit, it locates the valve stem so it stays concentric with its seat on every cycle, while conducting heat away from the stem into the head casting.
Do I need one valve guide or a full set?
Every valve in the head has its own guide, so a full rebuild needs one per valve rather than a single item. This guide is supplied individually.
Can a valve guide be replaced with the head still on the engine?
No. Replacement needs the cylinder head removed since the guide is pressed in, and it's reamed to the correct stem clearance afterward, so this is a machine shop task rather than a home job.
Which Rover V8 applications use this valve guide?
It covers the Defender (1986-2006, 3.5L to VIN WA152501 and 4.0L EFI), Discovery 1 (3.5L/3.9L to VIN MA081991), Discovery 2 (4.0L), Range Rover Classic (from VIN JA610294) and Range Rover P38 (4.0L/4.6L).
What's the difference between this valve guide and the aftermarket version LGJ100900?
This is the OEM-grade guide made to original supplier quality; LGJ100900 is the aftermarket-grade equivalent for the same Rover V8 applications. Both fit the same engines, so the choice comes down to quality tier and budget.
