    slipped liner

    Hi all.

    Well I bought my first Rangie in Sydney the other day. Classic 93 vogue SE
    Recon motor 5k ago, 254k's on the clock. Drove 1600km to Queensland. Used 6 litres of water Only after looking at all the service detail papers do I see a statement that says it has a slipped liner. What ****es me off is that the date is shortly after engine rebuild. One thing to note is that there is no overheating at all (unless temp gauge is wrong) And amazingly enough I got amazing fuel economy. Used exactly 110L of fuel to get to Brisi. (WTF)

    Is it possible to get that one cylinder lining pinned? Or am I up for a new motor which is sad since it has recently been fully rebuilt?

    Welcome to the forum

    Thats disappointing with a new purchase. I would think that the motor has been overheated in the past which might have contributed to it now having a slipped liner. Is there anyway of going back to the purchaser/engine builder regarding this issue? I believe it would be a waste of time & money to only do the one liner. Probably worth getting the cooling system pressure tested to confirm exactly where the water is leaking from.

    My 3.9 had similar issues used massive amounts of water, temp gauge didn't overheat - the block had lost its hardness, so was a full rebuild.

    Probably worth calling M R Automotive at Redcliffe who specialise in Land Rovers - 07 3284 6688

    yes you can get just the one liner pinned, but in reality you wouldn't.

    the amount of time an effort involved in getting the first one pinned you'd be a nut not to get the rest done at the same time. While its apart getting done get the heads checked and decked as the most common precursor to liner slippage is over heating followed by old age neither of these things are friendly to heads.

    oh yeah

    thanks guys for the advice

    If I took the block myself to get pinned, what would I expect to pay?
    Such a pitty as the rest of the engine is pretty much new going by the invoices I saw.
    Oil still like new after 1600km run. No high temp at all on trip. And I only used a bit over 180 litres of fuel for 1600km which to me is impossible. Maybe the water in cylinder helped my economy by increasing thermal expansion maybe?

    assuming the slipping liner was diagnosed by noise alone...


    given what youve just put on....


    sure its not just a sticky tappet or rocker?
