Do you mean the Range Rover engine? That started out life as a Buick/Olds
unit.


No, the valve that fits the RR V8 is a big block Olds valve. You
order them from Manley (the engine valve Manley and not the
"thermionic valve" one) and the length is a little different-there's a
small up charge. Still a hell of a lot cheaper and a better part.
