Frequently asked questions

What does the 2.5L diesel cylinder head do?
The cylinder head forms the upper sealing face of the combustion chambers on the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel, carrying the valve seats, ports and the integral coolant shroud. It seals to the block through the head gasket and houses the valvetrain that controls gas flow into and out of each cylinder.
Does this cylinder head come with valves fitted?
No, cylinder head STC4837 is supplied as a new bare casting with the coolant shroud fitted, but no valves, springs or valvetrain. You'll need to transfer those from your original head or fit them separately. Budget for new valve stem seals and a head gasket when you build it up.
Which vehicles and engines does cylinder head STC4837 fit?
Cylinder head STC4837 fits the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006) with the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. Confirm your exact engine variant before ordering, since the 2.5L diesel was built in several specifications across the Defender's production run.
Why would a 2.5L diesel cylinder head need replacing?
A cylinder head typically needs replacing after overheating warps or cracks the casting, or when the valve seats and coolant shroud corrode. Common signs include coolant loss, white exhaust smoke and combustion gases in the cooling system. A failed head gasket often exposes damage to the head face underneath.
