Forum:
I have, as stated before, bought a Landrover with a Daihatsu 2.5 F50 diesel engine fitted. The head gasket is either leaking or worse, the head is cracked, either way I need to remove it to see. My problem is I have had no luck finding anyone who can supply a head gasket set, not even main agents can get them from Daihatsu apparently. Am I in posession of a useless piece of junk or does anyone know of a source of parts for this engine, I'm desperate. cheers John Mee

I'm not 100% sure, but foe 20 odd quide from ebay, I'd try a 2.8 Fourtrak head gasket set. The engins are basicly the same. The extra 300 CC's was created by lengthening the strock of the engine.
Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.
F50 Head Gasket
Thanks Nev, if that is the case it would solve a lot of problems. Can anyone else confirm that the 2.8 gasket will fit the 2.5 engine.
