RE: 2000 LR Discovery II overheating and oil - 5/16/2008 5:48:43 PM    wadematt   Posts: 15 Joined: 4/13/2008 Status: offline Ok, I've decided that it would be in my best interest to do a mechanical oil pressure test in four phases.  1)  with engine cold check it at idle  2)  with engine cold check it at 2000 rpm 3) with engine at operation temperature check oil pressure at idel  4) with engine at operating temp check pressure at 2000 rpm.  If the pressure is low, I will drop the pan, check the pick up tube.  If that is fine, I will check the crank bearings. I almost couldn't write that without a straight finger.  DiscoMike gave me the advice and we will put it into action. (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 23

What is wrong with your, do you need a short block, long block or a complete block? _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.
