Because they go again around 12 months later, the price of them second hand has gone through the floor and It would be much better in the long run with a stonking V8 shoved in :-) Lee D Lee_D <newsgroupNOSPAM@NOSPAMlrproject.com> uttered summat worrerz funny about: More frustrated customers here.... http://www.freelanderheadgasket.co.uk/ > Nige <nigel.inceBUGGEROFF@btinternet.com> uttered summat worrerz funny > about: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > hand > has gone through the floor then maybe I should take a look - just for fun > and It would be much better in the long run with > a stonking V8 shoved in :-) well that's a damn fine answer - no matter what the question :) SignatureWilliam Tasso Land Rover - 110 V8 Discovery - V8 Seriously though, you'll have a problem trying to shift this. You really need to remove the head to ensure that it is only the gasket that has gone, otherwise you're possibly looking at over £1K to repair the damage. If it is just the gasket, then you need to find out why it went. this would help to shift the vehicle. I have seen all sorts of damage caused when the gasket goes due to water in the cylinder and compressed by the piston and either the piston holing or worse the block, not to mention bent valves and cracked head. The main prob is that it was fitted with such a poor engine in the first place that wasn't in any way up to the job. Typical cost-cutting by LR in my book Jock |
