Refill procedure needs you to be able to work under the truck, while it's level, and running. That's the main reason I had a shop do this for me, I had no place to do this myself.

Ouch. That sucks. I had the oil starvation issue on the top end and destroyed a valve and the cylinder this spring. I had a new motor dropped in and couldn't be happier. I'm currently doing the lower control arms and new front air struts. My only concern with a new motor is if I get into an accident that totals my rover, I'm gonna feel pretty dumb after putting a $$$$$$ engine into my $$$ 2011 Land Rover. But there isn't another vehicle out there that I find even remotely interesting.Well apparently someone cut some corners. I was lied to about the following:
completely disassembled, balanced crank, new pistons & rods, machined block
And Because of that, it would build internal pressure and eventually boil the coolant. Happened 3 times so I finally broke down and swapped to a reman engine.
The new engine has about 7500 miles on it and purrs perfectly. I’m averaging 19mpg on the “new” engine.
This process has been insanely expensive but once the truck is essentially all new I’ll drive it for years.
Have a solid fluid pump
