Never had a problem with multy layered steal head gaskets on K seiries engine fitted loads and metal dowels, original HG are proper ****e though, however freelanders are generaly ****e its not just the engine you want to worry about.
 
Thanks for that this one looks good though that seems to be the only thing going for it what others problems do freelanders have ?
 
listen to the people on here and dont buy it !! i wish i had asked for advice before i bought mine !! failing that make sure you have a money tree in the garden cos your going to need it !!
