I think I should take apart the front case before putting everything back together. I doubt that I've really wasted my time on HG's, with themilage on the vehicle.
No marks or grooves on the heads, or even the gaskets. I think the liners are intact.
No pressure check. I was quite negligent. I don't think I have the tools to pressure check it, it's probably something I should get? Is there any coolant leak possibility under the front case? There was definitely coolant inside the engine, the valve covers were covered in sludge.
Okay, thanks Richard. Will do.
(sorry for my ineptitude) I've been trying to post the photos from my phone. I'll try a computer.
but I didn't really dig into it enough.
I've been trying to post photos
Just losing coolant as far as I know, b
I clearly don't know how to properly post photos.
This question is about the Disco, but it's a 4.0 Bosch. I've been adding about a pint of coolant a week, and I don't drive it a lot. It has 165,000km, and as far as I can tell, the HG's have never been done, so I guessed it was time. I removed the heads, and I was hoping to see more definite evidence of bad HG's. I'll try to post photos again. Also, are #6 liner there is a slight brown streak, but liners all look intact, and slightly below flush.

Thanks Richard
Thanks. I've had the 2A for 26 years, the P38 is coming near 3 years, and the Disco about 9 months.

I guess I still haven't figured it out.
Maybe I figured out how to post photos? Here are my 3 LR's. I'm a bit of an LR nut, but I think I'm in good company here.
Isn't a very slight pull to the downward side of the road normal?
The top 3" was proper looking gravel. Under it was mire! Thank God the right side stayed on top!

Hopefully the photo connects. This was us on Saturday.
Yeah I've wondered that too, and I also suspect a breaker bar is more likely to shear off the bolt or stud, but it's always a one off, so hard to know.
