My mechanic stated that my cylinder heads are slightly cracked around the valve seats due to overheating. Has anyone experienced this before? Sounds strange to me. BTW, does anyone know of a good Rover mechanic in the San Antonio/Austin area? Thanks!   Geoff 93 RRC (Geoff) Senior Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 312 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 02:20 pm:    I do all of my own stuff but in Austin there's a shop on 5th nearly directly across from the LR dealer. Haven't used them but have seen several Discos there. Also MotorCars Ltd on 183.   Jon D'Andrea (Jon_d) New Member Username: Jon_d Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 03:11 pm:    Thanks, Geoff. It turns out that my heads were not cracked. I can definately tell you where not to take a Land Rover in San Antonio, Tx--the shop claims to be a well-versed independent LR shop, but they rot. Wish I could find a good Land Rover mechanic in San Antonio. Dealership is good, but $$ and waiting list. Regards!
