Replacing PSP, Noticed coolant never staying full at cold
Hey Guys my Disco II's psp is going to get replaced, but Ive also noticed my coolant never stays full, I havent seen any leaks on the ground..I even placed a full sheet of poster board on the ground to help me see any drips an no leaks there, im suspecting a head gasket..also there is no coolant smell from the exhaust after a new start in the morning and running untill it reachs temp, and it doesnt run hot, and there is no suspect of coolant smell or leaky heater core.
Since im going to take the psp off, im thinking to just go ahead and to head gasket and instead of using new strech bolts, install a stud kit, plugs, coil packs, plug wires, water pump, valve cover gaskets and exhaust gasket, themostat and have i missed something, what do you guys think...oh yea, never done a head gasket job..lol

No, 95% of the time its just a blown headgasket.
Now if you overheat it then you could be looking at a warped head or 2 or a dropped cylinder liner. (all aluminum engine and all)
As for a good "how to", no, I cant help you there.
Just take lots of pics and put things back where they came from, including lifters and in the same direction they were originally facing.

ditto
ditto on the hot chicks...... if you need a source for better head gaskets and head studs let me know and i will post the info for you. Remember that a thought on blocks cracking is that the head bolts go to deep and being stronger than the block, they are thought to actually pull a crack into the block... i have zero faith in the ones sold by LR, BA, and AB ....
