Part number: 605105
Aftermarket head gaskets for this engine are of the steel shim type. Genuine ones—which are no longer made—are composite type gaskets. The composite construction better accomodates any minor imperfections in the engine block and cylinder head mating surfaces, which may be critical if either the block or head haven't been resurfaced prior to fitting a new gasket. Composite gaskets also offer a more reliable seal between the dissimilar metals of the head (alloy) and cast iron (block), which have different themal expansion coefficients.
We've uncovered a treasure trove of New Old Stock Genuine head gasket kits (also known as VRS kits) Series 2a and Series 3 Land Rovers with a 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine. These kits feature the superior, composite type head gaskets that Land Rover fitted at the factory and supplied to their network of dealerships. Each kit is opened by us to check for any deterioration in storage.
A rare treasure!
