Maintenance - Head Bolts and Composite Gaskets

Applies To:

Discovery I | '94 - '99
Discovery Series II | '99 - '04
Range Rover Classic | '87-'95
Range Rover 4.0 (P38) | '95 - '02
Range Rover 4.6 (P38) | '95 - '02

Atlantic British recommends that head bolts never be re-used, as they stretch and will not re-torque properly, which can cause leaks. We also recommend replacing original gaskets with composite gaskets, as they seal better than standard original gaskets. We recommend only composite replacement gaskets - purchase the individual head gasket or get the gasket set for a complete cylinder head valve job.
