This push rod is a component of the overhead-valve system in Land Rover's 2.25 and 2.5 petrol engines, transferring motion from the camshaft lobes via the lifters to the rocker arms, which actuate the intake and exhaust valves. A worn or bent push rod causes erratic valve timing, resulting in symptoms such as misfiring, tappet noise, and reduced compression. Accurate replacement with a correctly dimensioned rod is essential to maintain proper valve clearances and engine performance. Key Features Designed to the original length and wall specification for the 2.25 and 2.5 petrol engines Hardened contact ends to withstand repeated loading against the rocker arm and cam follower Matches OEM geometry to ensure correct rocker arm geometry and valve lift Engines typically use eight push rods - inspect all rods for straightness when replacing any single unit, and check cam followers and rocker tips simultaneously Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender (1986–2006) with 2.25 and 2.5 petrol engines, and Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 with the 2.25 petrol engine.
