Misfire cylinder 8
I would start with a compression test on the cylinder at this point, might also be beneficial to boroscope the cylinder to see if there's any obvious damage -

Engine smell when flogging it
I live in Denver, flogging it is sometimes not a choice when driving up a steep mountain pass but I haven't smelled anything weird when doing so. Might be a manifold leak as someone else has pointed out. Do you know if the manifold gaskets were replaced when the timing chains were done? Another... -

Between 3-4k would be the sweet spot depending on vehicle maintenance and condition. -

2011 LR4 TIMING JOB
I have done this job in conjunction to an overheat on my 2010 LR4. As others have stated, it's doable but it is a challenge considering the unknowns. If you have skipped timing, you should be removing the heads to inspect for bent valves, stretched valve guides and damage to pistons and... -

Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
If I wasn't mechanically inclined and I was in the same situation as you, I'd go for option 3 hands down. Find yourself a lower mileage engine, have the timing chain components updated with the redesigned parts if it's not already done and have all the critical cooling parts replaced along the... -

Running BFG 275 65 18's
Anyone here running BFG KO2's in 275/65 18 know if I need to cut gram horns to make em fit? I'm currently running Goodyear wranglers in 265 65 18's; the KO2's only seem to be a 1/4 wider -

LR4 5.0L overheating at idle
This! I had the exact symptoms, turned out to be a thermostat stuck in closed. Pulled over, gave it a few whacks and it released. Could also be a bad fan clutch and it's not engaging when it should be, would warrant a rad fan assembly replacement. Personally I would replace both for peace of... -

LR4 won't move
Did you see any codes/engine lights on the dash as you heard the clunk? I had a similar issue once when I went over a big bump and the battery terminal cable must've loosened when this happened, it threw a bunch of codes including the transmission, and the shifting got super weird as you... -

Every Fault Known To Man
Plus one on this - I've had the exact same issue with a loose battery terminal cable and the dash lit up like an Xmas tree. Also, had a bad battery and had similar symptoms with random unrelated lights on the dash. -

Oil in Intake Manifold - Smoke on Startup
Any specific color or smells to the smoke? Might give you a better indication of what to tackle based on the color and or smell. As someone had noted, condensation burn off on initial startup is normal on mine as well but clears up after a couple of minutes -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
1 year update since rebuild It's been just about a year and 12k miles since rebuild. Engine is as strong as ever and at this point feel fully confident that the fix was permanent, well as permanent as a LR can be! I've had a few bugs as noted through other posts in the past. Most recently... -

When is it time to say goodbye?
I bought a 2010 LR4 a couple of years ago with 106k miles on the clock, got it for barely nothing as it had overheating engine issues and the dealer told the previous owner that it needed an engine replacement at a cost of $20k! Took on the project as I've seen these repaired and with the low...
