im currently losing 2-3 litres per 100 miles from mine with no obvious leak... :?

DaveS:
That's what mine was doing, it was the head gasket!

Have you checked for white sludge in the rocker covers? The filter on the left (from front) on mine was choked up with it.

Range Rover Blues:
That's called a flame trap.

expect about 165 psi from a used but solid high compression V8 with no obvious tuning work (MY LSE tops 205 PSi but it broke the guage) so your's sound poorly.

If it is just the gasket then I'd say that head needs a skim, so don't shirk on it, do both sides and re-lap all your valves too.  If this takes out the problme you'ff notice how much better it will run after.

Garth:
Done compression test tonight and LH bank between 155 psi and 163psi
So its back to the drawing board
