    Im a LandRover tech and i will say this happens all the time. The Y pipe under the intake cracks and customers keep driving and by the time you get a overheat light you have already caused major damage. Most of the time a new engine is cheaper for the customer. They’re going to need a lot more than head gaskets. Make sure you check the cam that drives the HPFP’s on oil pan. That cam will seize when the car overheats. You put head gaskets and timing chains on the motor. Motor will run for a short while than that cam will break and you’ll have to pull the motor back out to replace it 😢.

    You mentioned that the Y pipe cracks and that the customer continues to drive the car.. When the pipe cracks, is the driver alerted somehow?

    Owner already got his money's worth; 160K on a JLR engine is basically full use. I have a 2011 Jag XJ SC with 110K miles, last summer my 19 yr old was driving it and the rear (plastic) crossover pipe finally gave up and he saw the low coolant warning and steam from under the hood. I told him 2 years before the quickest way to kill an engine is to keep driving if you see low coolant warning or steam from under hood. The kid listened; he pulled over immediately and called me. It cost me $2500 to fix, but that's a lot cheaper than a new engine and I just did my errands in it today; idles so smooth you can hardly tell its running.

    I would try to convey to them that you don't want them to HAVE to come back to the shop, rather, you would want them to WANT to come back to the shop after seeing the quality of work you provide. Side note, as a Landy owner (D4) once they start overheating STOP IMMIEDIATLY!!! These engines are temperamental as it is and they are thirsty as all get out. In fact if you're looking to get into repair or becoming a tech I recommend buying a Land/Range Rover as they MAKE you maintain your vehicle or you pay a hefty price.

    JLR tech here. The math is pretty straightforward. A used low-mileage 3.0 SC engine is going to run you $7,500. The existing engine will need absolutely everything-plan on salvaging very little. If you think you can do a top to bottom overhaul and sort absolutely everything for under $7,500 then go that route. I seriously doubt you can. Remanufactured engines are awful. It's a $20,000 vehicle with that mileage. Find a 2016 and later 3.0SC engine with under 40,000 miles and drop it in and be done with it. Avoid the 2014-2015 engines as they have lots of issues from the factory.

If there is more classes to teach people about temp and pressure gauges like I had when I was learning as a military pilot to stop the engine when the gauges say RED, we as mechanics will have far less of these severe engine failures in our life.

    These JLR 3.0 v6 and 5.0 v8 engines are one and done when overheated, it will warp both block and heads to a point you can’t even machine them straight even after cutting down to minimum spec. You’ll see online there’s a ton of theses engines for sale, reman, rebuild, used low miles and they want $5k-$15k. It’s a high demand engine because they go thru them like tic tacks!

    Weird. I've been driving a 5.0L NA for 20k miles since overheating badly enough to warp the heads and lose compression. Pulled the heads, new gaskets, timing set, valve seals, coolant hoses and pipes, head bolts, and just about every other wear-part along the way. Did about 200 miles of freeway driving today. Love it. Guess I am really lucky. Sounds like Dave is willing to repair similar issues.

    As a heavy equipment mechanic for a construction company. My boss asked me to help his brother inlaw with his jeep. Someone had told him it needed a new injector. Sure that’s easy. He had the new injector. I put it in number 5 position as that was the cylinder with the miss. No change. Hummmm bad information as usual. No worries I told him let’s check this out. And see if the spark plug was working. Swap it with another no charge. Ok what is happening. With it at idle I opened the oil fill cap held a rag over it and watched it flutter in the breeze from the compression internally. I did a compression test and yes 5th cylinder was only 45 pounds. I told him it time to pull the head and find out the extent of the actual damage. The gasket was nonexistent between cylinders 4 and 5 no compression was getting into the coolant system. Oddly cylinder 4 had good compression. It was a automotive repair shop locally that told him it was an injector to begin with when he took his jeep there for an oil change

    Dave and everyone there. You are doing great work. This youtube is almost better. The tips for cars are INVALUABLE. A blown motor is just about the most expensive repair. Except an off center medium impact that doesn't total it. My wife's highlander 2019 60k was running a bit hotter than usual. Not bad but noticeable. No smell. My wife was a former farmer and has seen a few blown motors. It was just a bit low on coolant. Topped it off and the temp went back down. Some vehicles tolerate a bit low, this one does not. If she didn't notice, i'm not the daily driver of it. It would have suffered maybe a similar fate. Subaru's hate low too. Over time it dries out at the top seam of the radiator and then forms crystals, i believe those circulate and then find it into the headgasket. Back in the day i think those gaskets were bad, mixed materials and low coolant. Ate through them faster than normal. Keep coolant up, change it every few years. Hoses too. Oh and that lake guy and the recommendation to add fuel additive. Has clearly given both our vehicles 1 to 2 MPG. What's up with that. 3 tanks through each vehicle and that's the paper calculated MPG change. Not computer told. that's always wrong. I think fuel used to have additive in it. Now it doesn't. I bet super barely has any. Lucas fuel additive is my choice. I trust their products. Prolong has saved a few vehicles back in the day too. Overheated boat motor too. Impeller was blown up from sucking in sand and pebbles. That stuff is cool but probably corrosive to mixed metals, I'm not sure. chlorinated paraffin's is the trick to their sauce. Not zinc.

    First we had CSI then CSI Miami, now we have CSI Internal Combustion Engine. CSI ICE. Dave don't forget when interrogating the owner/driver to strategically tilt your glasses down or remove them dramatically like David Caruso when you tell them where they went wrong. I used to love tendering aged cars along when I was younger but nowadays you can't even get to an oil filter or under the car to drain the oil without a post lift.

    One thing Dave. I don't use water if I suspect a bad head gasket. Risk of it rusting the liners and rings if you don't get to tearing it down soon. Cheap coolant sure. Used but clean oolant probably. Oil down the cylinders is not a bad idea if it's your own engine.

    Very interesting reaction to your business Dave. It really highlights how many poor businesses owners must be in the car repair field. Really all we are seeing in Dave is a decent human with good family values and beliefs. Now I’m sure Dave is a very smart businessman and is rewarded very well for what he has put on the line to build a top of the line one stop repair centre. People having a desire to make money and live a comfortable life is not a bad evil thing it’s healthy, the manner you go about achieving it is where this bloke shines. I’m sure he would be a fair employer who only wants a fair day’s effort from his staff for a fair days pay. You know a saying comes to mind that I think fits, by the grace of god go I. Embrace every aspect of yourself particularly the aspects that cause you to stumble in areas, shine the light on that don’t be ashamed or feel like it’s impossible to overcome, bringing it to attention removes a lot of its power cracks the coconut.
