Frequently asked questions

What is the ERR5553NR piston?
The ERR5553NR is a 4.0L V8 EFI petrol piston supplied without piston rings. It reciprocates in the bore, passing combustion force through the gudgeon pin to the connecting rod and crankshaft.
Do I need to buy rings separately?
Because it's supplied less rings, you'll need a separate matching piston ring set to complete the assembly. This suits engine builders who spec their own rings or reuse a ring grade.
How many pistons does a 4.0L V8 rebuild need?
A full 4.0L V8 rebuild uses eight pistons, so order a matched set of eight. They're fitted as a graded set so compression is even across all bores. Fits Defender, Discovery 1 and 2 and Range Rover P38 V8.
