Black Friday sale (Gap IID Tool)
That was a good deal, but not as good as the one I'm selling. :p Lemme know if anyone is interested. For sale: G3 Gap IID tool. Includes VIN transfer of ownership ($35). $400 shipped. (yes, I know this is not the classifieds section. I'm waiting for a response from the site admin. For some... -
Made an appointment for timing chain fix
lol "parts that are common to fail on the Land Rovers"....they're going to need a bigger rack. -
2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
That looks like a shop that works on Land Rovers, not a Land Rover (or British car) specific shop. As an example (not an endorsement...just found this via google)... https://britishautosd.com/ -
SCV6 Crankshaft Torque and Sequence
Ugh, so frustrating. Even the dealership didn’t have the info. Next step is to call repair shops that specialize in selling refurbished LR engines. There are a few in LA. I’ll post my findings. -
2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
Head Gaskets != New Engine. That said....there could be surprises lurking as the result of the overheating. For the time and money you're probably better off picking up a running LR4...ask me how I know. -
SCV6 Crankshaft Torque and Sequence
Just got my repaired SCV6 block back from the machine shop and eager to get it back together. Does anyone know the torque # and sequence for the crankshaft main caps? It seems as if LR "forgot" to include this info in the repair manual. Is there a separate engine teardown/rebuild manual? -
Piston tolerance?
There is only damage in one cylinder...the piston and sleeve are melted...the machine shop/engine builder said it was detonation. The supercharger is fine. Had there been a catastrophic failure with the supercharger I can't imagine debris wouldn't have made its way into other cylinders. There... -
Piston tolerance?
Are you implying that this wouldn't happen? Please elaborate if you believe it was caused by something else. I'd love to hear other possibilities. -
Piston tolerance?
The rest of the internals look great. It was just the one damaged cylinder and bad timing tensioners. -
2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side
Is the remaining leak with a valve cover or timing chain cover? They’re vastly different, yet both have been mentioned interchangeably in this thread. If it’s timing cover, there are three (upper left, upper right, and lower), each with its own degree of difficulty to access. Yes, the SCV6... -
Indy Shop Over-Charging?
Sounds expensive compared to what it could be if you did it at home. You can get 10 quarts (2x2.5q jugs) of synthetic oil from Costco for $35. The filter from AB is $30. This is a standing oil change (filter housing is on top of the engine, vacuum oil from inside filler), so you don't have to... -
Piston tolerance?
Bad tensioners. I bought the car knowing it had a timing chain issue. I wasn't aware of the damaged cylinder. The seller forgot to mention that small detail. :mad: Yeah, hood on, and didn't have to pull the radiator. As you can see, I took a lot of stuff off before I pulled it. At one point I... -
Piston tolerance?
I believe a timing issue caused detonation in the cylinder. It's now at the machine shop to be resleeved. -
Piston tolerance?
2015 SCV6. Does this look like it's within factory tolerance? -
Exhaust manifold removal - Torx Size?
A size 8 hex bit worked to remove the bolts. I actually ended up just unbolting the collector and pulling the heads with the manifolds attached. Easy peasy. I'm about to pull the engine out (hopefully).
