Checked the overflow bottle this morning no pressure at all on removing cap. Also ran the motor and no bubbles rising intro the bottle while running motor. I also topped the bottle right up and what did happen is coolant overflowed the bottle when the motor was running. I could changew the...

Will try the run and leave overnight test otday. Didnt change coollant just the resevoir cap, have changed coolant a few times over the years and like my disco always bled the system as per rave. thks

Thanks Zaphod before the rebiuld there was no engine noise I think the only way to know is going to be to pull the engine and strip it down again. The engine now has better compression with new rings pistons etc maybe caused the liner to slip where it didnt before... will se if I can find some...

I seem to be plagued with issues accross both my landrovers at present maybe they have decide to take a xmas break !! I just rebiult my 2003 V8, new pistons rings, bore hone, camshafts, rockers, lifters, all bearings water pump, oil pump all new hoses etc etc. All bearings were plastiguaged...

I seem to be plagued with issues accross both my landrovers at present maybe they have decide to take a xmas break !! My 93 RR classic has started to lose coolant when hot from the coolant bottle i.e a short say 10KM trip is fine but on a longer trip when all is fine until you stop at which...

I think that may have been the issue I had filled the oil filter so it would have had a job to get the air out.... Many Thanks

Just uploaded a slightly larger pic which seemed to upload ok.

Its done 170K, it doesnt look like its currrently leaking, but clearly it was, it had std green glycol coolant rather than red organic and it didnt seem like any sealer had been added to the cooloant but its possible. I have an ARP head stud kit for this motor and given I am about to do the...

Pulled my Disco 2 4.0 V8 engine to do a few bits of upkeep the last owner ignored, rear main seal, valley gaskets rocker cover gaskets, timing cover seal, check oil pump etc etc and on cleaning around the block I found this just below the head gaskets its at the rear of the heads where I know...
