Live and Learn

since 14th months and 33 tkm I had this problem, head was moved a bit and it had huge amount gas in cooling system. In that time I didn't wan't to use money (so much) for the new head, so I had 2002 model used part they put steel guides between block and head .. now I have same problem again options are head gasket or/and head failure! All these symptoms came clear after solved the low running temperature problem, I put the new thermostat and all was clear.. it was hard to get thermostat hoses to keep water in and when engine reached normal temperature symptoms were quite clear. So my guess is at the second hand head has some fracture.

This time I wont save and I have ordered new head from Turner Engineering, my Discovery goes to repair shop next monday... Lesson to learn do not use cheap parts in this area and do not try save.. you end up use more in worst case.. like ME
