Searching the net I came across this article about removing 3 of the cylinder head bolts to help prevent overheating and blown head gaskets. Is this sound advice or should I stay away from this one, any experience?

You have a late Disco I ?, then no it does not apply.

 

Mine is a 99', thanks.

 

Thats interesting, Land rover even supplied short blocks that had the whole bottom row eliminated, so the heads had bolt holes that went to the block deck,no holes or threads, and never explained why.
