This is a complete cylinder head replacement kit for Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ and Ford Maverick models fitted with the 2.8L RD28 diesel engine. The cylinder head sits on top of the engine block, sealing the combustion chamber and housing the valve train. Original RD28 heads are well-known for cracking due to overheating, a failure which requires a full replacement to prevent major engine damage. This comprehensive kit provides a new cylinder head, a full VRS (Valve Regrind Set) gasket kit, and new head bolts to carry out the repair correctly.

Product Features

• New Cylinder Head Casting: A brand new, bare cylinder head that eliminates the risk and uncertainty of trying to repair a cracked or warped original.
• Complete Kit: Supplied with a full VRS Gasket Kit providing all top-end gaskets and seals, plus a new set of single-use head bolts which are mandatory for achieving correct clamping force.
• Heavy-Duty Aftermarket Design: This Patrolapart-specified kit uses a quality casting to ensure durability and correct fitment. Inferior castings can have manufacturing flaws, leading to premature cracking and a repeat of this costly engine repair.
• Direct-Fit Replacement: Manufactured to OEM specifications for fitment and performance, ensuring a straightforward installation with no modifications needed.
