    Cylinder head question

    Cylinder head question

    Hi Took some photos of the head earlier this evening. These two show the worst areas clearly. They show the visible crack, and some heavy pitting. On inspection the crack also appears to veer off into the pitted area, possibly. The photo doesn’t show that up well. On inspection the crack...

    Hi! I am the owner of a marine blue truck cab S2a, named Roy. He is my 1st Land Rover, and I am a novice, but keen to learn. He’s had an engine change from petrol to a 12j 2.5 n/a diesel. Unfortunately, in typical LR style I suppose, Roy had been beset with problems, which between us we’ve...
