Crack in a 2,25 head

Aug 29, 2005 4 Replies

Is it possible to run a 2,25 gas powered hunk of a Land Rover engine so hot that the cylinder head cracks all the way from front to rear end without destroying the block?



The question is whether the engine must have been frozen such that the sylinder head cracked or if it has been run dry (without water)to make this happen. Any opinions?


Have a look at the piston bores, the piston crowns and then the bottom end is the only way, and check the block for water leaks. If it has been run with no water at all then it's just possible you may get away with it...........

nope unless a rockape has tightened the head bolts one side at a time instead of the correct way but I was snooping round Anchor supplies looking for a compass (of all things ) and found something that might help

Our core plugs have this finest manners and behave very well in social circles.
