Hi, I decided to strip a TD5 defender engine after finding oil in the water. Oil cooler definitely needs replacing but not sure about the marks on the block? Do I need a replacement block?

Hmm.... My crystal ball isn't working today, maybe a picture would help.

Yes, what sort of marks?

Machining isn't recommended on TD5 engines, so rebores, skimming, crank regrinds and the like should be approached with caution. However, this guy claims to have skimmed a TD5 head successfully: Web Rover So maybe you can . . .

I saw the photo before it disappeared, I think the black marks are just carbon stains which shouldn't be anything to worry about

Sorry for some reason the photos disappeared and I'm struggling to get them back.
