Hi I have a defender 110 3.5 v8 su carbs lpg etc.
Having replaced the headgasket due to the waterpump failing about 8 months ago, everything was running sweet.
BUT! last week I noticed moisture in the oil filler cap, took no notice and have now found sludge like the gasket gone again. but i haven't ridden this beast hard.
I have noticed that the engine really doesn't heat up at all. cant even get much heat from the heaters when the engines been running for ages and the thermosat only goes up abit. Could the thermosat be gone and causing more coolant into the engine?
Gasket i replaced was from the old tin to a compo one.
I hope it's not cylinder liners otherwise anyone want to buy a 87 110 lol.
Has anyone had a similar issue before and can give some advice before i strip the engine down.
