Head Gasket Set - 2.25 Petrol - Composite is a top-end (de-coke) gasket set for resealing the cylinder head assembly of the 2.25-litre petrol engine.

It supplies the gaskets and seals needed to refit the cylinder head after it has been removed for decarbonising or head work, and is built around a composite-type cylinder head gasket. The head gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and the block, maintaining combustion pressure and separating the coolant and oil passages that cross the joint face.

When fitting, use 18 of sealing ring ERC6821 under the heads of the cylinder head bolts if they are not already in place.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3335 Head Gasket Set used for?

The RTC3335 is a top-end de-coke gasket set for resealing the 2.25-litre petrol cylinder head on Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and early Defender models. It supplies the gaskets and seals to refit the head after decarbonising or head work, built around a composite-type head gasket that seals the head-to-block joint.

Which engine does the RTC3335 fit?

The RTC3335 fits the 2.25-litre petrol engine used in Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and early Defender models. It's specific to the petrol unit and the composite head gasket type, so it typically differs from the diesel and later engine sets. Confirm your engine is the 2.25 petrol before ordering.

Do I need cylinder head bolt sealing rings when fitting this set?

Yes, when fitting the RTC3335 you typically fit 18 sealing rings (part ERC6821) under the heads of the cylinder head bolts if they aren't already in place. These sit beneath the bolt heads on assembly. Check whether your engine already has them fitted before torquing the head down.

What are the signs a 2.25 petrol head gasket needs replacing?

Common signs of head gasket failure on the 2.25 petrol include coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, oil and coolant mixing, or overheating. The composite gasket seals combustion pressure and separates the coolant and oil passages, so a failed joint lets them cross. The RTC3335 reseals the head after head work.
