1994 land rover discovery! How many miles? i would suggest pulling engine that old and tear down and take to machine shop. A strait edge is not going to give you a correct reading on a vehicle that old. Machine shop can mic block and heads and tell you exact problem. SORRY

The head should always be skimmed and pressure checked before re-fitting.
