Turner engine worth the gamble??

When was the last time anyone heard of the metal gaskets failing?!
Can't say the same for the composites.
Mine are doing great thousands of miles later.

I have no experience with Turner personally other than emailing them for a quote. But, from what I have read and heard they are the absolute standard for remanufactured Rover V8's. If you can afford to go the Turner route and want the security of an extremely well-built motor I think it is the preferred option. I would expect the Turner motor to outlast the rest of the truck.
If I had $10k set aside for a project like this I would swap a Turner into my truck today. There will never be another SUV produced with the looks and the feel of a Disco and in my opinion they are worth preserving. The added power of the upgraded Cam and refreshed motor would be nice as well.

Although I don't need a new engine at present, I have my plan for "when it's needed" - and it's been "buy a Turner engine". I'd agree that they're less a risk than other rebuilt engines out there based on what I've read, and actually a bit of the gold standard.

I have had my Turner engine for 1-1/2 years and 15K miles, including a trip to the Yukon and Alaska. The piece of mind of a reliable engine on the longer overland trips is assuring. I recommend anyone considering a Turner engine to also consider paying a little extra to add the Kent performance cam.
