Im doing a Land Rover discovery head gasket, it's actually my dads. It was pressurising
It's got an amc cylinder head, from when my dad has bought it.
We got it sent away for skimming and pressure test which it past etc, i asked the place what size head gasket etc and they said a 1 hole gasket. cleaned the block with wd-40 and wet and dry to get a nice surface
A one hole head gasket was purchased with new bolts, top radiator pipe and thermostat and cap for good measure. The dowels where steel so re-used them, i couldn't get the rear dowel to fit in the head gasket as the hole was oval and wouldn't fit, had to also emery cloth the front dowel to make the gasket fit.
Built it all back up etc, lapped the valves in, but left the rear dowel out, made sure all the bolts whent in nice with alittle oil on the threads.
It's now mixing oil and water and still pressurising, but starts and runs fine with no smoke???
Does anyone have any ideas?
