STC1172 Cylinder Head Gasket Set 200Tdi Defender

The STC1172 cylinder head gasket set supplies the supplementary gaskets and seals needed when the cylinder head is removed for overhaul or resealing on the 2.5 liter 200Tdi diesel engine. This set does not include the main head gasket, so it is intended for use alongside a separately sourced head gasket during a full top end rebuild. Components typically covered in a set of this type include the rocker cover gasket, turbocharger and manifold gaskets, and related valve stem seals that ensure a proper reseal of the ancillary surfaces surrounding the head.

This is a well known service item for Rover owners tackling a 200Tdi head job, since the smaller gaskets in this kit are just as prone to wear and leaks as the head gasket itself and are best replaced as a full set rather than piecemeal.

FAQ
Does this kit include the main cylinder head gasket?

No. The STC1172 set covers the supplementary gaskets and seals around the head, such as the rocker cover, turbocharger, and manifold gaskets. The main head gasket must be sourced separately.

Which Rovers does the STC1172 gasket set fit?

This set fits the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic, all equipped with the 2.5 liter 200Tdi diesel engine, across the model years listed above.

When should this gasket set be replaced?

It should be replaced any time the cylinder head is removed for an overhaul, repair, or head gasket job, since reusing the smaller gaskets and seals after disturbing the head can lead to leaks.
