Hi
I am just about to sell two v8 mercs so I had to buy another v8, Plan is to swop my pajero diesel with a eco friendly v8 disco 2 , its LPG makes it sound a little better.
Anyway. the one I have found has water in the oil but no pressure in the water system or oil in the water. I believe that its most likely to be a crack in either seven or eight liner but as this point I'm yet to see the car, let alone look at whats wrong with it.
The questions are these.
1. Is it just the disco 4 L that has this issue or do the other engines also suffer.
2. How interchangeable are the engines, are either the older units or later or even the 4.6 range rover engine interchangeable physically or is everything in different place making it a nightmare job.
3. Do the dry liners need to be swopped after a total block strip or can they be changed once the heads and pistons are out of the way?
4. Is they anything else, silly or involved that could possible cause the water into the oil and not the other way around and without head gasket pressure into the water system?
I would very much like to have some constructive ideas on this issue so I can workout my 'method of madness' with the car.
