Re: Rover V8 Cylinder Head Numbers
Hi Im wondering can you use the neoprene stem seals instead of the tap (washer) type seal?

Yes you can.
The question is whether the valve guides are different - I believe they are but am not 100% sure.

Note that ALL the heads will fit ALL the blocks, only difference being the 4 outer bolt holes on late heads are not drilled- HRC2479.
Later valve guides have steps on the top to take the stem seal shown above. There is talk in the engine manual for 3.9 and 4.2 of a new exhaust valve called 'carbon break', which use a 2mm shorter guide, but I cant find any official mention of these valves anywhere.
