Cylinder Head Bolt (Short) for the V8 petrol engine, securing the cylinder head to the engine block.

This is the shorter of the two head bolt lengths used across the cylinder head. When torqued to specification it clamps the head down onto the head gasket, sealing the combustion chambers, coolant passages and oil galleries against the block. Head bolts are stretch fasteners and are replaced as a set whenever the head is removed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ERR2943X short cylinder head bolt for?

The ERR2943X is the short cylinder head bolt for the Rover V8 petrol engine, one of two bolt lengths used across the head. Torqued to the workshop specification, it clamps the cylinder head onto the head gasket, sealing the combustion chambers, coolant passages and oil galleries against the block.

Which V8 Land Rover models use this short head bolt?

This short head bolt fits the V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 (1989-1998, VIN FA393361 to WA799999), Discovery 2 (1998-2004), Range Rover Classic (1992-1994, from VIN JA610294) and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001), covering 3.5L, 3.9L, 4.0L and 4.6L variants.

Can V8 head bolts be reused?

No, V8 cylinder head bolts are stretch fasteners and should be replaced as a complete set whenever the head is removed. Reusing stretched bolts risks uneven clamping and head gasket failure. A full head set uses both the short (ERR2943X) and long (ERR2944) bolts, so order both to the correct quantities.
