Gasket Set for the cylinder head and upper engine of the 2.5 litre six-cylinder M51 diesel, used when the head is removed for decarbonising or overhaul.

The set covers the joints disturbed by a cylinder head removal, so the upper engine can be reassembled from one part rather than each gasket being sourced individually.

The cylinder head gasket itself is not part of this set and must be ordered separately. On this engine the head gasket is graded by thickness against measured piston protrusion, so the correct grade must be established during the rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STC3694 gasket set used for?
STC3694 is used when the cylinder head comes off an M51 2.5 diesel in a Range Rover P38, whether for a head gasket failure, a head skim, or a top end overhaul. It supplies the joints disturbed by that work, with the head gasket itself ordered separately.
Does STC3694 include the head gasket?
No. STC3694 is the cylinder head gasket set for the M51 2.5 diesel and it excludes the head gasket itself. On this engine the head gasket is graded by thickness against measured piston protrusion, so the right grade has to be established during the rebuild.
Which Range Rover has the M51 engine?
The M51 2.5 litre six cylinder diesel was fitted to the Range Rover P38 from 1994 to 2001. It is a BMW sourced engine, so its parts do not interchange with the Land Rover petrol or TDi units used elsewhere in the range. STC3694 is listed for that engine only.
Why is the head gasket graded on this engine?
The M51 head gasket is graded by thickness, and the correct grade depends on how far the pistons stand proud of the block, measured during the rebuild. The wrong grade typically alters compression and valve to piston clearance, so the measurement cannot be skipped.
