As bad of a reputation these engines got you are now good for another 100,000 miles.

Great job!! You got the heads machined, but how come you didn’t deck the block?

[@offroadrehab-yw3yp]

Deck was checked with straight edge and feeler gauge, i also check deck at night with straight edge and torch, engine looked in great shape, i soaked piston rings too and cleaned top of liners, very little wear on liners, engine covered over 100k , thanks for comment, do you own a Rv8

That's an excellent job. What did you use in the restoration of the Exhaust manifolds, upper intake and valve covers? Looks brand new.

[@offroadrehab-yw3yp]

Exhaust, upper intake was soda blasted, then exhaust was cerakote, valve covers were powder coated, was a nice little project, did it for a friend, its a manual too, hes currently got it up for sale, thanks for watching video

Mine has the same ticking issue, discovery VR2 1999, thought it was the exhaust manifold but I can see that airs coming from where the block meets the rocker arms and stuff :( no leaks of any kind, just sounds of pure air puffing out the side :(

[@shelbycleveland-zl9zw]

Also, not a ticking noise, it’s air escaping just coming from the side :(

[@offroadrehab-yw3yp]

Yeah id say your head gaskets gone buddy

[@tarotbynature]

I'm going to be doing this soon. Could I ask why you didn't do the oil pump and chain? Do you recommend it?

[@offroadrehab-yw3yp]

The engine made good oil pressure, if i was doing a full rebuild then yes i would change as much as possible, suppose it comes down to cost and time, have you checked your pressure? Thanks
