Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC6851 engine plug used for?
The RTC6851 is a threaded blanking plug that seals machined ports and core drillings in the engine, including points in the cylinder head, oil filter housing and filter adaptor. It closes off an oil gallery and holds internal pressure at that point on the 2.25 and 2.5 four-cylinder engines.
Which Land Rover models and engines does it fit?
It fits the Defender 90/110 (1987-2006) and Series 2 and 3, on the 2.25 petrol and 2.5 four-cylinder naturally aspirated and turbo diesel and petrol engines. Fitment follows the engine, so confirm your engine type rather than just the model.
How many RTC6851 plugs does an engine need?
It's sold individually. These four-cylinder engines use plugs of this type in more than one place across the cylinder head and oil filter housing, so the quantity depends on which drillings you're sealing. Order to suit the job in front of you.
Should the plug be replaced when it's removed?
Typically it's worth renewing a blanking plug once it's disturbed, along with fresh sealant, since a reused plug can weep from an oil gallery under pressure. Check the seat and threads are clean before fitting.
