Cylinder Head Gasket for the 2.5L 200 TDi and 300 TDi diesel engines, sealing the joint between the cylinder head and the engine block.

It contains combustion pressure within each cylinder bore and seals the coolant and oil galleries that cross the head-to-block face. This is a multi-layer gasket of the 3-hole thickness grade, measuring 1.59mm. On the TDi engine the thickness grade is identified by the number of holes (notches) along the gasket edge and is selected to match the measured piston protrusion.

The cylinder head bolts on these engines are tightened by the angle (torque-to-yield) method and should be renewed whenever the head is removed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LVB500220 head gasket and what does it do?

The LVB500220 is the cylinder head gasket for the 2.5L 200 TDi and 300 TDi diesel engines. It seals the joint between the cylinder head and block, containing combustion pressure in each bore and sealing the coolant and oil galleries across the head face.

What does the 3-hole, 1.59mm grade mean?

The 3-hole grade identifies this gasket's thickness, 1.59mm, on the TDi engine. The number of holes or notches along the gasket edge marks the thickness grade, which is selected to match the measured piston protrusion. Check your engine needs the 3-hole grade before fitting.

Why do TDi head gaskets fail?

TDi head gaskets typically fail from overheating, a warped head, or age, letting combustion gases into the coolant or oil. Signs include white exhaust smoke, coolant loss, pressurised coolant, or oil and water mixing. A failed gasket needs renewing to prevent further engine damage.

Do I need new head bolts with this gasket?

Yes. The cylinder head bolts on these TDi engines are tightened by the angle (torque-to-yield) method and should be renewed whenever the head is removed. Fit new head bolts alongside the LVB500220 gasket rather than reusing the originals.

Which vehicles does this head gasket fit?

The LVB500220 fits the 2.5L 200 and 300 TDi in the Defender (1987 to 2006), Discovery 1 (1989 to 1998; 200 Tdi to VIN LA081991, 300 Tdi from MA081992) and Range Rover Classic (1992 to 1994, 2.5L Tdi from VIN JA610294). Confirm your engine and VIN before ordering.
