Range Rover Blues:
Shame you aren't closer as I have some.

pas:
cheers guys

I found that I actually had a handle that, with a little modification, fitted. I was suprised how easy it is to do, so much so that next time I have to take the heads off I may consider doing the lot as its a much better thread now, but hopefully that won't be for some time. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about drilling out the thread , as it was a 11.5mm drill bit that would only fit into my 240v drill (that doesn't go very slow) so there was ali flying everywhere whilst I prayed I was drilling straight  :wink: , but the heads back on now , just got to put the rest back on and hopefully it will be play time again soon  :twisted:

Range Rover Blues:
TBH I'd only do them as and when needed, take as little metal off the block as you have to.  A set of studs might be a better bet to protect the threads that are left.

pas:
well

i'm back to being p***ed off again now as i've got the engine back tigether and running but have still got a gurgling expansion bottle
so just got to figure out what next  :cry:

Paul

Range Rover Blues:
Oh nuts.

You need a leakdown tester and samll compressor then to find out which one and how bad.

Could be a cracked head or cracked block, the miss-named porous block syndrome.

Most likely head though if it's bubbling, find out which one and rebuild or replace it.

You could try disconnecting the leads & removing the plugs one at a time and see if it stops bubling I guess, that would tell you which one.
