Land Rover Part Number: LDF500160 - Cylinder Head Assembly
LDF500160 is a Cylinder Head Assembly fitted to the 2.5L TD5 turbo diesel engine. It forms the upper closure of the combustion chambers and houses the valve seats, valve guides and springs together with the intake and exhaust ports. Internal coolant and oil passages run through the head to moderate combustion-chamber temperature and to lubricate valve-train components; the mating face with the engine block forms the head-gasket sealing surface and must be flat and free from distortion. The assembly also provides mounting points for rocker gear, and supplied units commonly include exhaust valves and associated valve-train components. Where a head is reconditioned or replaced, inspection should include valve-seat condition, guide wear and the flatness of the gasket face; confirm compatibility to the correct TD5 engine and VIN range before installation as porting and valve-timing interfaces can vary between production runs.
