After over 10 hours taking the car apart, I got to the head, and saw this:




It looks like the metal in between the cylinders has melted (i cant find a piece that fell out) Is there anything that can be done to fix this besides getting a new block and head?

 

Oh wow

 

Fugly.

How does this even happen ???

how many miles on this thing and what coolant temp were you running ???

 

Holy ****, how long was it driven misfiring on that cylinder.

 

I have no idea how this would happen. The car has around 200k miles, and the coolant dial was at the maximum. It doesnt show the degrees

 

I'd like to think I've seen a lot. I've never seen anything close to that...

 

How would I fix this?

 

yup overheating bad very bad
first item I purchase after I buy a disco is 100 % ultraguage

i think you need a new block

 

How would I install a new block. Can I even do it myself? Where would I get one?
