Discovery II, 115,000... I blew my head gasket out last year or so, (after a couple of overheats...)
I garaged it until i had time to deal with it...
I opened it up yesterday... One side looked good... clearly the gasket was shot, no steam cleaned cylinders...
As I was taking out spark plus on the other side, it was def rusty (prob not good)... as i got it off i founds this heap of **** in there...
Im assuming this block is a wash at this point.... is it worth macgyvering something... or should i just get a new block/ or part the truck out...
Also if i go the block route can i use the same crank, pistons (sans the 2 shot ones) and internal hardware (sans bolts) from the old block if they check out... what would i need to buy new.....
Thanks for any help
