Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC5775 lower block gasket set cover?
The RTC5775 set supplies the gaskets and seals for the lower block of the 2.5 litre four cylinder turbo diesel engine. It seals the block joints below the cylinder head and is used when reassembling the bottom end during an engine overhaul.
Which engine and vehicles does this gasket set suit?
This set suits the 2.5 litre four cylinder turbo diesel engine in the Land Rover Defender from 1983 to 2006. It doesn't cover the 200Tdi or 300Tdi engines, which use different gasket sets. Confirm your engine before ordering.
Does this set include the cylinder head gasket?
No. This is the lower block set, covering the bottom end of the 2.5 turbo diesel only. The cylinder head gasket is supplied separately. For a full engine gasket overhaul you will need the head gasket set as well as this bottom end set.
Is RTC5775 the same as STC1558?
STC1558 is the number also carried against this lower block gasket set for the 2.5 turbo diesel. Both refer to the same bottom end overhaul set for the Land Rover Defender, so a listing under either number points to the same item.
When is a bottom end gasket set needed?
A bottom end gasket set is needed whenever the sump, front cover, rear main seal housing or oil pump on the 2.5 turbo diesel are disturbed, typically during a rebuild or to cure persistent oil leaks. Reusing old lower block gaskets after stripping usually leads to fresh leaks.
