I have search for a couple of days on here and still can't find info on replacement options for the 4.6 block.
I have a 2004 discovery (90k miles), looking at a head gasket job and am preparing for the worst case scenario.
The one option I know of is a used engine, but I have a hard time trusting something that has already failed.
I am also looking for feedback on the claims I have read on some threads that the computer's lean fuel map causes these blocks fail. This is important to me because in the future I do not want to ruin my replacement block (or my current block if it is good).
thanks guys, I have already learned a lot from all I have read in threads over the year since I have owned my discovery.
