Frequently asked questions

What is the core plug used for?

This core plug seals the machined opening at the rear of the camshaft bore in the Rover V8 petrol cylinder block. The cup-type plug closes off the camshaft tunnel once the camshaft is fitted, and is driven in and sealed on assembly. It measures 46mm in diameter.

Which engines does this 46mm core plug fit?

This 46mm core plug fits the camshaft rear bore on the Rover V8 petrol engine only, used in the Land Rover Defender (1986-2006), Discovery 1 and 2, Range Rover Classic (1986-1994) and Range Rover P38 (1994-2002), covering 3.5L to 4.6L V8s. It doesn't fit diesel or four-cylinder blocks.

When does a camshaft core plug need replacing?

Replace the core plug if it corrodes, weeps or is disturbed during an engine rebuild. Core plugs typically fail through internal corrosion over time, letting coolant or oil seep from the rear of the block, so they're usually renewed whenever the camshaft or block is stripped.
