Frequently asked questions

What is the ETC8352 dowel ring for?
The ETC8352 dowel ring locates the cylinder head to the block deck on the 200TDi and 300TDi diesel engines. Seated in the block face at the head-to-block joint, it aligns the head so the head gasket, fixing holes and coolant and oil passages register correctly during assembly.
Which engines and models use this head-to-block dowel?
The ETC8352 fits the 200TDi and 300TDi diesel engines in Defender (1983-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994, 200TDi). It's the locating dowel at the head-to-block joint, common across these TDi applications.
How many dowel rings are needed for a head gasket job?
The head-to-block joint typically uses more than one locating dowel, so check how many are fitted to your block before ordering, as the ETC8352 is sold individually. They're usually inspected during a head gasket change on the 200TDi and 300TDi and renewed if damaged or corroded.
