Frequently asked questions

What does the rocker shaft do on a Rover V8?

The rocker shaft mounts on the cylinder head of the Rover V8 petrol engine and carries the rocker arms, transferring pushrod motion to the valves. It also forms the oil gallery that feeds lubrication to the rockers, so its condition affects both valve action and top-end oiling.

How many rocker shafts does a V8 need?

The Rover V8 typically uses one rocker shaft per cylinder head, so a full engine usually needs two. Order two if you're rebuilding both banks. Each shaft serves the four rocker arms on its side of the engine.

Which Rover V8 engines does this rocker shaft fit?

This rocker shaft fits the 3.5L, 3.9L, 4.0L, 4.2L and 4.6L Rover V8 in both carburettor and EFI form. It also suits the 101 Forward Control and Stage One V8 109, covering Defender, Series 2/3 conversions, Discovery 1 and 2, and Range Rover Classic and P38.

Why does a rocker shaft wear out?

Rocker shafts typically wear where the rocker arms pivot, often from oil starvation or high mileage, leaving flats or scoring on the shaft. Symptoms usually include top-end tapping noise and uneven valve clearances. A worn shaft can also restrict oil flow to the rockers.
