Frequently asked questions

What is the LCF000280 bare cylinder block?
The LCF000280 is a bare cylinder block for the 4.0L Rover V8 petrol engine, the main structural casting housing the cylinder bores, crankcase and main bearing saddles. It's supplied bare, without crankshaft, pistons or bearings, as the foundation for a full engine rebuild.
Which engine and models does this block fit?
This bare block fits the 4.0L Rover V8 petrol engine used in the Land Rover Discovery 2 (1999-2004) and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001). The crankshaft, pistons, camshaft and cylinder heads all assemble onto it to build a complete engine.
What's included with a bare cylinder block?
Bare means this block is the casting only, with no internal components. You'll need to transfer or replace the crankshaft, pistons, bearings, camshaft and heads to build a running engine, so budget for a full set of internals when planning the rebuild.
When does a cylinder block need replacing?
A cylinder block typically needs replacing when it's cracked, has worn or scored bores, or has failed core plugs or bearing saddles. On the Rover V8, overheating can crack the block or lift a liner, so a bare replacement gives a sound base for a rebuild.
