Frequently asked questions

What is the oil pump steel ball 3748 for?
The oil pump steel ball 3748 is a precision steel ball used inside the engine oil pump assembly. It seats within the oil pump body as part of the pump's internal mechanism in the lubrication system, on the Land Rover 2.25 four-cylinder and related engines.
Which engines does it fit?
It is listed for the Land Rover Series and Defender 2.25 petrol and 2.25 diesel four-cylinder engines, and the early 2.0 diesel. The oil pump ball is common to these lubrication systems, so confirm it against your oil pump type.
When does the oil pump steel ball need replacing?
Typically the oil pump steel ball is renewed when the pump is overhauled or shows wear, since a worn ball or seat can reduce oil pressure. It is usually replaced as part of a full oil pump rebuild rather than on its own.
