2004 disco ii engine issues
Hi, I'm new here. Need some advice and feedback about replacing or rebuilding the engine of my 2004 Disco II. I am in Houston TX, looking for reliable, professional, affordable mechanic that will solve the problem. Tried couple places and was unsuccessful. Wasted my time and money.
Also, anyone heard about the option of installing a Chevy engine instead?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The engine had light knocks from the beginning. Drove the car 2 years. Then suddenly it overheated. I never drove the car hot, immediately stopped and towed to a mechanic. They removed the HG attempting to fix it, replaced the radiator, valve #7 indicated a problem. They said they fixed it, but the car still had issues. The mechanic said it might have a crack in the block but nothing confirmed. Did not get a straight knowledgeable answer, that's why I am so frustrated, trying to find someone who understand these vehicles.

Did you try the LR shop up near Spring, TX? I've heard good things about them. They should have pressure tested the block while they had it apart.
I'd be happy to take a look at it, but I certainly don't have the space for another LR to be torn down. I have my friends 03 that he still hasn't picked up or called me about, and I'm about to tear into a replacement engine for my 04 so it'll be hogging most of my space until I get it done. After that I could possibly look at it.
There is a Chevy V8 conversion kit out there that retains all the Bosch sensors and it allows you to run a Chevy 4.8L V8. If I had the $$$$$ I'd certainly give that a go, but I don't so the LR engines will just have to do for now.
