If you say I could care less, it means you care a certain amount.. It's the opposite of that.

Thanks for the great work Chris. Car runs smooth and temps are great. Of course not a week after the repair I've got some issues with evap/o2/camshaft sensors. Don't think there's any relation to the cylinder weld though. Such is the land rover experience

Considering how drunk I was I'm surprised I made that much sense.

Apologies for stupid tone.

PLEASE do! I'm at the point of pulling the engine, doing a complete disassemble, pinning all cylinders - maybe some top hat liners if necessary, and doing a rebuild. If plug welding is a better alternative, I'm in. It also helps that I have a full machine / welding shop at work I can use.

Plug welding.
Got it!

Chris, so you drilled into the block right up to the sleve..
Then put the wire in until the wire hit the sleeve and then the weld came out to greet you.

So even though the block is aluminum, the weld stuck and bonded to the sleeve? Is that right?

Man great job and idea
