Long crank, no faults
Wow crazy coincidence. I actually first started to notice the long start after a night time off roaring trip I went on where my engine temp was around 210 and trans temp was around 205ish. My volts on the IID tool were reading 11.9 with my light bar high beams and fog lights on yet when I turned...- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
I’m back now that I finally have more free time so I decided to finally jump on this myself. Decided to use a borescope and pull the plugs just to be sure that I don’t have leaky injectors. My question, is this a normal carbon buildup pattern for a car with 143,600 miles? The center of all of my...- Jimmy Brooks

Timing Chains INA or Tsubaki how to tell?
here is another diagram Not sure if the tsubaki chains ever made it to the 5.0L v8 in the LR4s. All the parts websites never list any other chains for the LR4. I know they were in the 09 Jaguars but I don’t think they made it to the Land Rovers with the 5.0- Jimmy Brooks

Mystery speedometer
That is the weirdest looking speedometer I’ve ever seen on one of these cars. It’s not even the right font. I’m willing to bet that there is more of a story behind that car. I can’t even find an OEM Speedo that looks like that. It also jumps from increments of 10 twice to 15 to 10 again and so...- Jimmy Brooks

Auxiliary chain and sprocket change
Would it be easier if I pulled the condenser and the bumper so I could gain access to the auxiliary chain easier? Just confused on how you did all the careful tensioner work on the aux chain by reaching thought the top of the engine. Seems like it would be too awkward but maybe I’m wrong- Jimmy Brooks

Auxiliary chain and sprocket change
Did you pull the front bumper and radiator to do the job or did you just remove the fan and casing around it and reach in there yourself?- Jimmy Brooks

Don’t think I’ll need the pumps. They said they know it’s the chain and they could see the slack in the chain when they pulled the vacuum pump. I think you mentioned something about possibly letting me borrow timing tools to lock the cam shaft- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
Atlantic British and lucky8 don't have crank position sensors, and it seems like all my OEM Land Rover parts sites got shut. Does anyone have a reputable OEM parts sight that has good prices or is FCP my best bet.- Jimmy Brooks

Ok, I’ll go for the crank position sensor first when I get the car back. They said they saw the sensor communicating with the car while even cranking but it’s worth a shot.- Jimmy Brooks

Agreed agreed, just wouldn’t want to pull the timing cover and get all the tools to find out the fuel pump is timed but was just going bad.- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
Appreciate all you guys for all of the insight and convincing me to go through with this build. Before pulling the trigger I do want to address one thing, why did it get worse over time so slowly? If it jumped time wouldn’t it have been instantly bad and stayed the same the whole time? That’s...- Jimmy Brooks

Auxiliary chain and sprocket change
I have jack stands and a jack, but am I going to need a lift of any kind or do any work under the car? I saw you mention something about the flywheel- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
Ok this would by far be the most complicated project I have ever tried. If I am going to attempt this I’m going to have to be extremely organized and careful, take pictures of everything’s configuration and take it one step at a time Do you think you could link me the part of the service manual...- Jimmy Brooks

Auxiliary chain and sprocket change
Might take this job on myself, my fuel pump jumped time. @Thepuckstopshere @Rover Range Can you guys give me any useful guidance tips or ideas to get this job done without removing the oil sump. I have never attempted a job like this but am too invested in this car to just sell it so any...- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
they told me they couldn’t recorrect it unless they pull the front timing cover. I’ll talk about it with them but I doubt they’ll do it. Worth a shot tho, definitely beats pulling timing covers or the whole engine out. so odd though, has anyone heard of this happening on these cars.- Jimmy Brooks

They reprogrammed a junkyard ECM and stuck it in the car but said it didn’t make a difference. Worth a shot tho, I’ll try it when they put the car back together and give it back to me- Jimmy Brooks

Long crank, no faults
Believe he said they pulled the high pressure fuel pumps and were just able to see the cam follower and the markings and determine that it was just one tooth off. As for the preformance thing I’m kinda stumped by it as well. They seemed to have the same reaction of being shocked as well. They...- Jimmy Brooks
