What does the cylinder head bolt washer do?
The 7/16in cylinder head bolt washer seats under the head of a Rover V8 cylinder head bolt. It spreads the clamping load across the head bolt boss as the head is torqued down, helping maintain even sealing pressure on the head gasket. Sold individually.
How many head bolt washers does a Rover V8 need?
A Rover V8 cylinder head typically uses around 28 washers per engine on older heads and about 20 on later heads, one under each 7/16in head bolt. Order to suit your specific engine's bolt count.
Which engines use the 7/16in head bolt washer?
This washer fits the 3.5L and 4.0L Rover V8 petrol engine across the Series III, Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. On Discovery 1 it applies from VIN FA393361 to WA799999. Confirm your engine is the Rover V8.
Should head bolt washers be reused?
Head bolt washers are typically replaced whenever the cylinder head is removed on a Rover V8. Reusing distorted or corroded washers can affect even clamping of the head, so fitting fresh ones is normal practice during a head gasket or top-end rebuild.
