1995 Land Rover Discovery 3.9 V8

I just finished rebuilding the heads and replacing all of the gaskets. However, I did not redo the bottom end. Everything sounds fine besides an exhaust leak from the passenger side. However, on the back side of the block on the drivers side, it's leaking water. I'm guessing it's from a head gasket. It's brand new, but I suppose the block could be warped or cracked. Do you guys think I could use gasket sealer or jb weld to stop this water leak?

 

does the motor have freeze plugs?

big leak? moderate? slow?



put some block sealer in there..

 

note to self, do not buy any land rover posted on craigslist any time soon.


jk, I'd never buy a land rover

 

Did u take the head to the machine shop to pressure check it and make sure its not warped/cracked?

 

+1...and also +1 on the freeze plugs

 

Yes, it passed it the pressure check, but they were both warped. The heads got fully rebuilt 4 days ago by a machine shop. The gaskets are obviously new as well. I'm just going to trade the vehicle in and go back to Honda.


Note to EVERYONE: Do not EVER buy a Land Rover. My current problem is a very common issue I've been told.

 

^ throw some good block sealer in there.. like that blue devil stuff...
