• Motorbike Head Gasket CBR1000F 18 May 2006 (Forum)
  , there's no sign of oil in it, checked oil no signs of emulsion, i'm thinking gasket failure from water jacket to cylinder. Anyway how much of a job is it to get the engine out, break it down, rebuild and refit? Also whilst it's out i'm thinking about changing the camchain tensioner and doing the valve
• LR Discovery Power Loss 3 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 94 3.9 Auto V8 which after having the oil cooler pipes changed developed an intermitent power loss. It can happen at any speed and the revs just drop to nothing. If I hit the throttle it will pick up. I've tried keeping the throttle in the same position and knocking the auto into neutral
