Decoke Gasket Set for the 2.25L and 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine. This is the top-end (cylinder head) gasket set, covering the joints disturbed when the cylinder head is removed.

It supplies the gaskets and seals needed to reseal the cylinder head and its associated components on reassembly. The set is used during a decoke or top-end overhaul - when the head is removed to decarbonise the combustion chambers and valve gear - or when a head gasket has failed.

The set covers the top end of the engine. It does not include the bottom-end (sump and crankshaft) gaskets.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STC1640 decoke gasket set for?
The STC1640 is a top-end decoke gasket set for the 2.25L and 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine. It supplies the cylinder head gaskets and seals disturbed when the head is removed to decarbonise the combustion chambers or replace a failed head gasket.
What does the decoke gasket set include, and what doesn't it cover?
The STC1640 covers the top end of the engine, the joints disturbed when the cylinder head comes off. It does not include the bottom-end sump and crankshaft gaskets. This asbestos-free set is intended for a decoke or head gasket job, not a full engine rebuild.
When would I need a decoke gasket set?
You'd use the STC1640 when removing the cylinder head on the 2.25L or 2.5L petrol engine, typically to decarbonise the head and valves or to cure a blown head gasket. Head gaskets are replaced whenever the head is lifted, so the set reseals everything on reassembly.
Which Land Rover models does the STC1640 fit?
The STC1640 fits the 2.25L and 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine used in the Land Rover Defender up to 2016 and Land Rover Series 2 and 3. Confirm your engine is the four-cylinder petrol unit, as diesel and later engines use different gasket sets.
