Default Plug welded sleeves in another motor.

This motor made noise from 150 degrees. Drilled and plug welded all 8 sleeves. No noise at all now. 2 for 2 so far.

Excellent. I'm interested in seeing your write up on this. Thanks again for chatting with me back in December when I was looking for a little advice on replacing the head gasket on my '01. My Land Rover has never run so well.

RoverMasterTech knows his Land Rovers and I appreciate that he was willing to take time out of his day to answer the phone and give some advice to a complete stranger on the phone. Good man.
