2001 Discovery II - Head Gaskets or Slipped Sleeve possibly?
#11
Update for you guys... I got it tested with the dye and it failed. There is a guy here in Mid TN named Reggie that just works on Land Rovers. I took the truck to him and he replaced the head gaskets, got heads machined, new plugs and wires.
Truck isn't over heating but it's running hotter than I want it to. I'm in the middle of a radiator flush and replacing the thermostat to see if that helps it run cooler.

And if you can use a scanner the temp can be seen more exactly - note in pix that two different trucks have two different temps and same reading on the stock gauge, it will show 50% from about 130 - 240F, you will want to be more precise. The 180F soft spring stat helps keep temps lower across the board.

I was told if you put a plastic glove over the mouth of the radiator overflow tank And it blows the glove up you have a slipped sleeve . Anyone else heard of this test? On. My 2001 it has already been tested and has exhaust gas in the coolant. With the glove test I was told I have a slipped sleeve I'm trying to decide weither to part it out or try having the heads machined Is there another test to find out if I have a slipped sleeve?
