Valve Stem Cap is a hardened cap that sits over the tip of the valve stem in the cylinder head valve train.

It forms the wear interface between the rocker and the end of the valve stem, taking the rubbing contact so the valve tip itself is protected. On engines not fitted with caps as standard from the factory, they can be added where the valve stem tips or rocker pads show heavy wear. Sold individually.

Frequently asked questions

What is the valve stem cap used for?

The valve stem cap is a hardened cap that sits over the tip of the valve stem in the cylinder head. It forms the wear interface between the rocker and the valve tip, taking the rubbing contact so the valve stem itself is protected from wear in the valve train.

How many valve stem caps are needed for an engine?

Valve stem caps are sold individually, so you typically need one per valve. A 2.5L 4-cylinder Land Rover diesel usually has eight valves, so a full set is normally eight caps. Count the valves on your cylinder head and order to suit, as quantities differ between engines.

Which Land Rovers use this valve stem cap?

This valve stem cap fits the Land Rover Defender (2.5L diesel and petrol), Discovery 1 (2.5L 200Tdi and 300Tdi) and Range Rover Classic 2.5L TDi from VIN JA610294. Confirm your engine and, on Range Rover Classic, your VIN before ordering.

When should valve stem caps be replaced?

Replace the valve stem caps when the valve stem tips or rocker pads show heavy wear, typically found during a head or valve train overhaul. On engines not fitted with caps from the factory, they can be added where wear has started. Worn caps let the rocker wear the valve tip directly.
