Valve Guide Diameter

Post by SeriesV8 »

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am starting a rebuild on a 3.5 rover v8. I'm trying to find out what the O.D. is for the valve guides but cant seem to find any information on them?

Thanks!

Neither can I - the Land Rover manual doesn't say. :(

I have some new guides stashed somewhere, I´ll try to remember and measure them.
