I'm not worried. But if you have a next time, might need to buy heads. Most likely there won't be a next time.

 

ok got some extras with my headgasket kit and im having trouble identfying where/what they are for ....

Eric you may be able to assist with this

or anyone that recognizes these parts please chime in

.....in the bag with the fuel injector o-rings.....there are more o-rings.....two larger ones....two that look like a double type for like going through metal....with gasket seating on both sides...? and hand 8 that are taller no rounded edges.....see pictures attached and then there are some copper and one silver washer....please advise thanks

 

I was wondering the same thing actually. Working on other things at the moment so I haven't got there yet. If no one knows, I'd call BP.

 

right on was trying to get jump on all this today but...will be calling them in the AM

today I found

I like the quality of my present fuel injector o rings as compared to the new ones so I just cleaned everything up and put it back together

WOW my water jacket gasket was trashed!!! holes in it and some may want to note that the K-seal seemed to have built up underneath the gasket .......So if you ever use K-seal I would highly recommend renewing this gasket ASAP

had no oil pan gasket....

no thermostat was in my disco....

and im still trying to figure out these extra little do dads.....

would help alot if a would stop falling asleep looking thu the manual....and searching online...ZZzzzzZZZzZZZZ

 

no thermo from someone trying to deal with HG overheat issues, with no stat mine will run like 140 F in 80 - 85 degree weather at 50 mph. Water jacket gasket = which one?

 

How long have you owned it?

Aren't you glad you did not attempt a second continental crossing trying to drive it back to Florida in that condition?

 

I bought it in Feb 2011....yeah so with no stat ive been running around 195....when towing....well I should have recalized ....it was taking a while to warm up...had to drive it to reach operating temp..yes im very glad im finding all this out...... THE JACKET..ON THE PLENUM...THIS GASKET WAS TRASHED

 

Find out what the parts are?

 

hese pictures show the water jacket.......heres a diagram of upper engine from rovers north Discovery I V8 Engine Top End Parts Available from RoversNorth.com gasket being #26 on this diagram.....

you can see in the pics that the Kseal...(copper silt ) built up under the gasket....and that the gasket blew out internallly....the last pic shows the build up green arrow.....blow out at red arrow...




chicken or the egg...i think the k seal blocked the gasket port...and therefore a hole was blown through the other side...however it did help my head gasket so ....if i ever have to use it again I will be changing this gasket asap.......the function of this jacket eludes me however....is it to warm the intake? cool it? use more hoses? lol at any rate there it is ...this gasket BTW is included in the head gasket kits

 

Is that the throttle body heater thingy?

Whatever it is looks NASTY. Downright scary. Hope I never see anything like that come out of my engine.

Glad you are doing so well with it.
