Head gasket gone again......

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
I'm tempted to think a skimmed block is better than a new one anyway, by using it you stress relieve the casting.

Anyway, a good machinist will only take off what's needed, so if it's straigh tit'll get a tickle but if it's warped then it'll get brought back into true.

muddydisco:
Is the cylinder block warped.    Mite need decking

Disco_Dennis:
Never thought about the block, although i've sanded the block each time (wet & dry) to get rid of any crap left over from the old gasket... - it's cast iron, though, isn't it?  :huh:  :-.  :?

I'll get the rule out and have a look tomorrow after I've dropped the head off at C&F in Henlow....    8-[

Disco_Dennis:
Well, I've prepared and checked the block and it's as flat as flat, so no problem there.  :clap:

Just wait for the parts to arrive tomorrow & I can start putting it back together again....  :dance:

That is as long as the head's OK.....  [-o<

john656:
Hope Ive not missed something above & I'm thinking outloud so bare with me, but is it the head gasket? what are / is the symptom. Check the block and maybe peek down the bores to see if its cracked??
Has the WP impeller s**ged its self?
Thermostat?
Restricted flow in the rad?

Any use
