Overheat, Misfire, and now a knock
#11
So today i replaced the remaining hoses that were bad, put new plugs, and tested the coolant system pressure. The verdict: SHE LIVES!. No loss of pressure, no more misfire, running like a top. My UltraGauge came in yesterday and she's holding a steady 194 sitting in the driveway, and never broke 197 over 30 miles of mixed driving. Thanks for the support guys. It rolled over 220,000 miles on the way home, hopefully we'll see 250,000.

Thanks for the video, mine doesn't sound anywhere near that severe. It actually almost completely disappears above 1500rpm. I'll be digging in bright and early Saturday morning to hopefully find a verdict. If anyone has anything else I should check or helpful hints I'm all ears.
I'll try and get a video up at some point of the noise also.

On the other hand with 220k I would love to help you forgive it out and be part of land Rover history, or, in the alternative, you have certainly gotten your money's worth and a rebuilt will make the engine good as new. Either way you're a winner.
