My 95 Disco head job!

5 hours in and I am now a slave to the heat tank. Some NAAASTY sludge in my heads. Had to extract 4 head bolts with my turbo socket. Here are some pics:
Have to say I am behind schedule. Those 4 head bolts took me almost a hour to extract. I too have questions about some seals and where they go. Same as the other guys post. I have 3 sets of 8 seals and no idea where they go. I figured out the other gaskets.

I noticed on the inside of the intake plenum it is listed as 3.9 and 4.2. Perhaps they are for the 4.2. I think I remember the Disco 2 having those bigger round gaskets in the intake. I wanted to get her done today however the sludge in the heads was too thick and took me forever to clean up. So I guess it will be monday. Progress at the end of today, heads back on:

No. The injector seals are like donuts, there are 16 of them. I checked as I took apart the intake to heat tank it.
There are square edged seals but not for the disco1. Quick image search yielded this as the correct result for injector seals:

so these head gasket kits may have been designed for a Rover SD1 with a 3.5L V8, or even an old range rover with a 3.5L
