I have 2000 Disco II the leaks and burns oil like its going out of style, I have a theory as to why this is but no matter what the cause I am looking at rebuilding the engine with new seals.
Theory: I noticed there is a check valve were there wasnt one before on top of the right valve cover going to the throttle body after the head gaskets were replaced. I think this caused an increase in oil pressure.
Because downtime is an issue(i am a recent vet and going to school) I was thinking of picking up one of these once I can afoord it. Used Engine, and doing the swap over a long weekend, then maybe I could sell the old block or when money comes in I could rebuild it to a 4.6 and cam it up or something.
Does anyone know if that engine is worth it? Do you knwo of any engine swap guides(I have never done one but I am not a complete idiot and understand the complexity of it)? Would anyone in the tidewater area be willing to work for beer or possible the old engine?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
