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.

Last time you did this, I admired your comfident ,gutsy , radical & creative. move , to approach a problem, it's good to try new ideas , and it worked,
Good for you & perhaps better for your customer's,
I know you will get better with each attempt,
Good job.

I'm waiting for a guy to call me back about doing another one. I'll take pics and document it.

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.
