Bloody engine.

Well I was all please as the Engine passed the pressure test.
But when they went to do the hone the liners have gone oval, so it's either a replacment block or get tophat liners fitted.

be better if I had a 4.6 block if im going to all the expense of fittting top hats.

so if anyone has one laying around let me know.
I'll still use the 4.0 piston and crank and make it a 4.0 but the 4.6 blocks are a little stronger.

Hi Leigh, I have a spare block from the Tuscan, it's a 4.6 fitted with 'top hat' liners. Give me a call on 01434 601666 tomorrow if it's of interest.
Best regards to all, Tony

I think brand new would be more expensive than getting top hats fitted, also if its a new landrover bolk then there is no grantee that it will not fail, it's more likly to fail than a seasoned top hatted block.

I could be wrong.
