Rebuild or buy new
I have a 2003 Discovery with what I believe is a dropped sleeve. Is it better to rebuild or buy a new short block. Any recomendations on where to find a shortblock or a contact of someone who can rebuild.

It would cost you over $3000 plus shipping to remove that engine, send it to one of only a few engine shops in the US, have it resleeved,sent back and reinstalled. Then you could continue the rebuilding process.
A lot cheaper to install a guaranteed used engine. Either way it not cheap. |

check LKQ they have great deals on used engines. You just have to find a good shop to replace it. I have check with my shop on this issue they said that this would be a 12 hour job but I have also heard that it's a 7 to 8 hrs.. Ask DiscoMike . He has help me allot on in talking to shops about how many shop hrs it takes for each job. Good luck ..

Would you know of any shops in or around Connecticut that could rebuild the engine or give me a quote. I have the engine out of the vehicle just need to make a decision.

wouldn't any diesel engine shop be able to resleeve the engine? they do that all the time on diesel engines..not sure about rover engines though.
|
Sure for $3000 give or take and then the rebuild when reinstalled, it is not worth it.
