Sump Gasket for the Rover V8 4.0 and 4.6 petrol engine, sealing the oil sump to the underside of the cylinder block.

This is the one-piece rubber-type gasket, which seals the full perimeter of the sump flange and replaces the earlier cork and sealant arrangement. It retains the engine oil held in the sump and prevents leakage at the block-to-sump joint. Renewal is required whenever the sump is removed.
