Yeah. I gotta say that I think the whole slipped liner thing is overblown. If you can get a good used motor and get your temps at 180 is and your coolant not orange then you can probably drive to hell and back. I'm not a 1 rover guy. Actually have 4 discos now. I would never in a million years spend Turner money. Get a good used motor and roll the dice. Turner don't give you more hp and it's never gonna come back to you at resale.
My 2 cents.

I read up on Every option and followed every lead, including a Turner block and short block....that's how I ended up with the 4.0 block I'm building now.

Watch D2 prices climb in the near future, and I already see higher prices since I got mine a few years ago.
Supply and demand. The supply is going down, and not everyone's a mechanic.
Take your pick of old muscle cars, and old LR's, and that people said they'd never have any real value.
I have a love/hate relationship with my D2...yet whenever I see a deal on one, I find myself wanting it, lol

I know, just another option, and I just went through the same thing a couple months ago as how I was gonna go about fixing my cracked 4.6

If the only difference between 4.0 and 4.6 was crank arm length, isn't the 4.0 block not going to have the same issues with the possibility of cracked/leaking liners? Why did you ultimately decide to go with the 4.0 block?

The 4.0 were earlier models too obviously, and are not commonly known to have liner issues, and we know the blocks are the same.
So I searched for either. I happened to find a good used 4.0 from a reputable source first.
And since neither is the easiest thing to come by, I jumped at the opportunity.
After disassembling the 4.0, the block and bores look really good. So I'm confident to rebuild it...fingers crossed, it is a LR, lol
