Not sure which threads, but go for the Land Rover gasket and stronger oil rail. Dont forget steel locating dowels and a new timing belt.

What age is your vehicle and where are you based??

Regards,

Steve

I'm nearby.

I have rebuilt my engine after I bought it with a HGF.

I bought two new MLS head gaskets, 2 oil rails, 2 timing belts and two sets of steel dowels.

I was planning to keep the other set as spares, but 9,000 miles on I am prepared to sell if you are interested. I can also throw in some RTV sealent as well.

Regards,

Steve
