Decreased compression, decreased performance !

Rebuilt the landy, was looking to get the head skimmed, anyway as mentioned the head had internal cracks so I put on an other head, slight problem, ordered a 3 hole gasket, thicker, think its not as responsive, candidate for a remap I think

Well that's the Landy back on the road, took the good head off my other landy and built up my daily landy, never needed to remove injectors cam and such like, so head off one and on the other 5hrs, good going, helps to have a very competent friend :-)

Yes, head required, hopefully I've sourced one

Don't know how long, friend took it while I was at work, said it was pressured to 100 psi, and lots of ports to be blanked,

Is there a lot involved, just cost me £100 to be told my head had internal cracks, sound about right ?

Nightmare, heads got internal cracks, £100 down the swanny, spare head anyone :-)

Some bits lol

Heads off only damage apart from head gasket is one failed hydraulic tappet.

Cheers mate, off tonight, skimmed and pressure tested £150 ?, build back up Friday, well that's the plan

Oh well this is interesting, 6 hours on call at the hospital, now making a start on getting the cylinder head off, drained oil and coolant, no pressure in pipes but no leaks either, big smoking exhaust yesterday, oil deff had sludge at end of drain, water in the oil no doubt,

Mmmm ok penny has dropped, I will try and not call either my Disco/landy a JEEP ever again

Aye new as in old yin running better.

Thanks, head gaskets not a big job, I'm lead to believe :-)

Ok after careful consideration of symptoms its head gasket time next week, I'll get a top end kit, with exhaust studs, get the head skimmed, and I should be looking at a new jeep. Happy days, was thinking of something newer but its too good to let go.

Summing it up recon I have a small leak into one cylinder overnight, a bit knocking to start, the hoses are not pressured, buying top end kit next week, and possibly getting the head skimmed, fan belt needs done as well.

And this morning Nothing, I wonder if it was water in the fuel, will drain filter to check tonight, fingers crossed.

I had new ones offered for sale no takers ?

Something is not right over the last few weeks there seems to be a fair bit of light haze on startup then clears but this morning the haze drifted like a cloud, as far away as about 20 feet and lingered, I drove to work and for the first mile I could see smoke / steam or whatever, when I got to...
