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.

Probably 19/32". If I get a chance I'll mic some up tomorrow.

Yep, 19/32" + 0.001" (0.5948") for an interferance fit.
