Gaskets & Seals: High-temperature-resistant multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets, viton rubber valve stem seals, and precision-cut cork/rubber composite gaskets for oil pans and covers.
Bearings & Bushings: Precision-machined tri-metal main/rod bearings with anti-wear coatings; durable phosphor bronze bushings for critical pivot points.
Piston Rings: Chrome-plated or nitrided top rings, tapered scraper rings, and oil control rings for optimal compression and lubrication.
Bolts & Fasteners: Torque-to-yield (TTY) cylinder head bolts and hardened connecting rod bolts meeting OEM tensile strength standards.
Additional Components: Timing chain/belt kits (if applicable), thrust washers, and OEM-specified lubricants/greases.
Intended Use: Full engine overhaul for Land Rover vehicles equipped with the AJ20D6 3.0L diesel engine (e.g., Range Rover, Discovery models).
Symptoms Addressed: Excessive oil consumption, loss of compression, knocking noises, or coolant/oil mixing due to gasket failure.
Service Scenarios: Post-failure repairs, preventative maintenance for high-mileage engines, or performance restoration.
Sealing & Compression: MLS head gaskets and piston rings restore cylinder sealing, ensuring proper compression ratios (e.g., ~16:1 for diesel combustion).
Friction Reduction: Engine bearings with micro-groove designs maintain oil film integrity, minimizing wear under high cylinder pressures.
Thermal Management: Heat-resistant materials prevent gasket blowouts under extreme turbo-diesel operating temperatures (up to 220°C/428°F).
Precision Fit: OEM-toleranced components ensure correct clearances (e.g., 0.03–0.05mm for rod bearings) to prevent oil starvation or overheating.
✔ Genuine OEM Compatibility – Direct replacement parts eliminate fitment issues.
✔ Extended Engine Life – High-wear components (e.g., rings, bearings) use upgraded materials vs. aftermarket alternatives.
✔ Comprehensive Kit – Includes all necessary parts for a single-purchase overhaul.
Note: Installation requires specialized tools (e.g., torque wrenches, ring compressors) and adherence to Land Rover’s workshop manual procedures.
