Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC7819 head gasket do?
The ETC7819 head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block on the 3.9L V8 EFI. It's a multi-layer metal gasket providing the combustion seal plus coolant and oil gallery seals across the block deck. The metal construction handles higher combustion pressures better than composite gaskets.
Which vehicles and engines does this head gasket fit?
This head gasket fits the 3.9L V8 EFI in the Discovery 1 (1989-1998, not North America, to end of LA prefix) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994), within a specific engine number range. Check your engine number against the fitment note, as later 3.9L engines use a different gasket.
Is this the metal or composite head gasket?
This is the metal-type head gasket for the early 3.9L V8, not the later composite design. The two aren't interchangeable, so confirm which your engine was built with before ordering. The metal gasket suits the earlier engine-number range noted in the fitment.
How do I confirm this head gasket fits my V8?
Confirm fitment by checking your engine number against the listed ranges: Discovery 1 to the end of the LA prefix, and Range Rover Classic up to engine numbers such as 35D08966B and 38D27330B. This metal gasket suits early 3.9L V8 EFI engines only, so the engine number is the deciding factor.
