Frequently asked questions

What is this piston assembly for?

This piston assembly is for the Land Rover 3.5-litre all-aluminium V8 petrol engine. It forms part of the reciprocating assembly in the cylinder bore, converting combustion pressure into crankshaft rotation on the power stroke. It's an aftermarket .020 oversize, high-compression 9.35:1 piston.

How many pistons are needed for the engine?

A V8 engine typically needs eight pistons for a full rebuild, one per cylinder. This listing is for a single piston assembly, so order the full set to keep the reciprocating components matched across the engine.

What does .020 oversize mean?

The .020 oversize means the piston is machined 0.020 inches larger than standard, to suit a cylinder block rebored to that oversize. It's a high-compression 9.35:1 piston, so confirm your block has been bored to +0.020 before ordering.

Which models does it fit?

It fits the 3.5 V8 petrol in the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. Confirm your engine is the 3.5 V8 and check your VIN, as the Discovery 1 application runs from VIN FA393361.
