Ive seen head gasket failure between no. 4 cylinder and outside of head/block on landrover deisels, not that this help you much but just thought
I'd let you know and in my experience just a case of check head for true and replace gasket. youl be back on the road by tea time . .m.

Head gasket is better than a rod out the side or a holed piston
Always look on the brightside!

A question for Teg
A little off your head gasket problem, but your listing says you are building a stainless steel chassis. Is this the one you now have on the road? If
so have you had any of the problems that folk say will arise from using stainlessfor chassis construction?
