Project Dark Knight Rising
In other events, while I wait for my block inserts to arrive, cause my machinist wanted to wait to install them, and I sorta used them on the NA engine during the head repair project. Soooo....I decided to start getting the heads in order. My machinist installed the new exhaust valves, and... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Well, another day or two, and honestly not too much accomplished. But I did manage to get my mother-in-law moved from one facility to another, and that's almost bigger than the engine....almost. Thankfully, when I got home last night, the new B clutch drum....actually it was the B, A and E... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Sorry, it only lets me post 5 pics at a time, so I have to break my posts up a little bit. After I hit the stopping point with the transmission....cause the B clutch goes into the case next...and well...I don't exactly have one yet...I shifted back to the engine. The engine tried my... -

Ok, so today wasn't 100% as productive as I'd hoped, but it was pretty decent none the less. First I messed with the transmission. Long story short, I think I damaged the B Clutch piston assemble when I took it apart. I tried too get it back together and messed it up even more. So, eBay to... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Ok, today's progress...or rather for the last 2 days....sorry, yesterday was a LONG day and I didn't have it in me to post last night. Last night I set the main studs with Loctite thread locker red on the in block portion of the stud, then used ARP ultra lube on the washers/nuts to torque... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Yeah, this is actually a Jaguar AJ133 that had spun the #1 cylinder bearing, and #2 wasn't far behind. (especially since they share the same crank journal). And, no, sit wasn't simple, the crank journal had been ground way down and the rod was toast...and there was enough play the piston was... -
Dieseling engine noise
I’d check and see if someone like Lucky8 LLC is running a 4th of July sale on the GAP tool and get one. It’s the best $550 you can spend on your Rover! Plus, it’ll give you TONS of insight into what may actually be wrong. -
Dieseling engine noise
Do you have a GAP tool? Can you scan for codes? I find it very hard to believe that it would "diesel" without throwing any codes. -
Dieseling engine noise
I would say there's a distinct difference between dieseling and injectors clacking. How many miles on your rig? New chains yet? Another possibility is faulty cam variators...or semi faulty...perhaps they're variating, but not enough, so there's mis matched timing on the engine. Start... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Final product for the day: Tomorrow, if I have time, I'll start swapping bushings in the transmission. I also need to go and torque everything to spec on the mains and rods. (they're just snugged up right now as I like everything to float...just a little bit so I have less chance of... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Ok, so today's progress. I was planning on putting the transmission back together, but then I remembered I have to swap the bushings first....so I turned my attention back to the engine and finished installing the pistons. (FYI, I already have 2 pistons in the engine...it's not the V6) A... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
I had originally planned on truly building this engine for 800-900+ HP....and then my bank account reminded me I'm broke. We found the Coyote engine valves are virtually identical to ours, just a little bit bigger. 37.7 vs 36. However, the biggest different was the valve lift....Coyotes get... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Ok, this really needs its own thread, but I'll try and sum everything up quickly. Short answer....sorta. Everything is in, and works, but yes, I'm having issues with the MS CAN and HS CAN talking to correctly. Here's what I did; I replaced everything! I thought it was simply a couple of... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Oh yeah, one other great resource I found: https://avtgr.ru/upload/data/pdf/zf_instructions/6HP28e.pdf official repair manual...but I'm not gonna lie, it's extremely technical! I've been studying it like crazy to make sure I understand what it's talking about...what we're measuring and why... -

Project Dark Knight Rising
Well, it's officially begun....or rather continued from a few years ago. Long story even longer, I've dreamed of swapping the Supercharged 5.0 AJ133 into my LR4. Fast forward what I believe has been at least 4 years and 3 moves and now I'm moving again and will be stuck in an apartment with... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Ok, I know this thread is old, but finally....yes, finally, it's time. We're transferring again this summer...but, I've got a dead car in the driveway I don't want to hoist onto a trailer to move. So, I've got 4 weeks to get the engine together, trans rebuilt and then into the car and... -
Increased Performance
I’m in the middle of this swap and yes, at a bare minimum, 20” rims are a requirement. -
Is this a failing crossover pipe?
Yes, unfortunately, replacing the heater core means the dash is going to have to come out. In a good note though, when the days is out, you can add new duct insulation to everything, sealing the HVAC system up like it was brand new! Of not, when you get to the metal dash frame, there are 2... -
Transfer case and diff oil change
Ok, oil leaking from the bottom of the engine is a VERY open ended question. Before I give you the usual suspects, are you leaving any oil on the ground? Ok, common oil leak points: 1. Valve covers. Over time they just start leaking. 2. Vacuum pump: (Front bottom of engine on the... -
BCM SDD Questions
That makes too much sense…clearly LR didn’t do it that way! LOL!!!! I think you’re right, sorta. I believe the firmware is indeed tied to different hardware revisions, as in my case, the difference between 2010/11 and 2012/13 would be the Denso based infotainment and the Bosch Infotainment... -
BCM SDD Questions
Well, the vendor I was working with made me an offer on the fresh CJB I just couldn’t refuse…so the new one is on its way. Once I get back in town I now have 3 different ways to go about trying to get it to work correctly! Failure is not an option as I’m in way too deep to go back now! -
BCM SDD Questions
Hey All! So, I'm at that point in my infotainment swap where I have to push outside my knowledge zone. Mainly this pertains to the fact that I've tracked my last gremlin to the CJB/BCM differences between the 2012 and 2010 LR4's. Here's my dilemma: I need to swap a 2012/13 CJB/BCM into my... -
Is this a failing crossover pipe?
So, my big question now is, how many weeks was it eating coolant for? If it was just one or two, then yes, I'd say someone didn't bleed the system correctly. If it's been for a while, there's a problem. Go to harbor freight, or something similar and get a coolant system pressure tester... -
Oil "anti-drain valve" in top of engine block 5.0 LR4
yeah, I had a feeling. Any chance you have another one laying around...or anyone knows the exact part number? I mean seriously, they're still making the SCV8, and I believe it's still a part of the SCV6 engine as well...LR should have some to buy....should being the key word.
