im getting a cannible v8. Rebuilding mine wasn't an option as I picked it up after the previous owner had thrown a rod and after removing the engine my current block is pretty chewed up. Steven at cannible is a really cool guy and answered all my questions. So I think it's really gonna take a guy that rebuilds them to test and see if yours is up to snuff
Slipped Liner... Options?
So, after spending a good amount time rebuilding my top-end I found out today from my LR mechanic (independent) that cylinder 6 failed a leak-down test and the spark plug was wet. Here's a quick list of the work I just did on it...
Head gaskets
Machined heads 10/thousandths to a mirror finish
Complete valve job
New 8mm wires
New spark plugs
New radiator
New t-stat
New hoses
Was wondering what my options for getting this fixed are and if anyone has any opinions? I'm leaning towards just remanufacturing the block with top-hat liners, new front cover, etc... and reusing my newly fixed top-end.
Before I go spending $6K+++, please send me some ideas!!
Thank you all!

I'm not sure what a short block will run you, but this is what you get for 5,450
