Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
Good point. Hope mine are ok, they seemed to behave... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Timing chain cover is back on, camshaft covers are back on, crank pulley is back on and secured with the M16 (24mm head) bolt. I was using a 1/2" breaker bar and a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter since the socket that comes with the pulley kit is 3/4" drive. I torqued the bolt up to 200Nm (147.5 ft-lbs)... -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
I'm curious why the Land Rover workshop manual would have this procedure with the following warning: Perhaps there was an older generation of tensioner where this was required... The bottom-line is it's confusing which is why I started this post; I'm trying to leave breadcrumbs for others! -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
All locking tools have been re-installed and the engine is beautifully timed, next step is re-assembly. I'm here on the computer looking for all the torque specs, tightening order, etc... -
V8 5.0L Intake Manifold - what is the rear sensor?
I'm on the fence, it's not that hard to take the manifold off if needed... I'm starting re-assembly today (starring with the crank pulley) so I'll have to figure out along the way. The part ranges from $160 to about $190. I'm on the back off a lot of those costs; the most recent been a $190... -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
Correct, but why the procedure, do you do it when changing the chains? -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
I did but only because the manual says to do this; I wouldn't have pulled the pins unless told to do so. I understand that it's easy to accidently pull the pins during installation but that wasn't the case for me. -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
I believe they are pre-primed but that's also why I was asking the question, go back to the original post and see what I posted from the workshop manual; they spell out this procedure but it's not clear to me why??? I did it anyway!... -
V8 5.0L Intake Manifold - what is the rear sensor?
Thank you, should I be concerned about the color or is that normal? -
V8 5.0L Intake Manifold - what is the rear sensor?
Can anyone tell me what this sensor is? I don't like the color; wondering if I should replace it while the manifold is out? This one: Thanks. -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
I ended up pulling the grenade pins before installation, then using some channel locks (per the video above) to squeeze it back in again. One of the tensioners with the grenade pin removed was very tight initially (I used a vice to get it moving); the tensioner pin then rachets back in. To... -

Thank you, yes, pulled the grenade pins with the VVT's bolts (12 of them in total) while they were loose. I then applied 35Nm of torque in the anti-clockwise direction (viewed from the front of the engine) on the VVT's (intake on the driver side and exhaust on the passenger side) and cranked... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
OK, problem solved (may be)... I pulled all the crank tools and played around looking for another "slot" to fit the tool but none were to be found; it appears there are other squares and also some slots in the crank timing ring but I did end up coming back to the same position on the crank... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Thanks for taking a look - The variators look fine I agree; that's not the issue, I'm not aligned on the guide and the chain is quite slack at the crank pulley, have a look at this photo again: There's no way I can pull the chain to the left to get it aligned on the next tooth... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Are you certain about this? I picked up in other threads that the tool might fit at multiple positions? I feel like I'm ever so slightly beyond TDC... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Phew, any thoughts on my misalignment issue? My gut is saying the crank is not quite right, am I right in thinking that the crank timing tool doesn't have just one unique position? -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Are you sure, the manual says 6 o'clock which is where it's at: It's sitting like this: I'm struggling to get it lined up though, I'm OK on the two variators but off on the guide (driver side), here's the exhaust variator: Intake variator: Guide, but the lower portion of the chain is... -

Passenger side camshaft lock down (exhaust): Passenger side camshaft lock down (intake): I had a pry bar and a tool locked to the variator that allowed gentle rocking back and forth of the camshaft to get the camshaft snug and in position. Next step is the driver side and then re-assembly... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Yes; the whole pulley is out. There are six bolts holding on the pulley; I used four of the six holes to secure the crank pulley removal tool. Here's one of them before screwing it in: Before removing the chains etc.: Timing marks (driver side) Timing mark (passenger side): I've... -

Shaft in place and tool hub assembly going on: Hub almost in place: Additional parts of the crank removal tool going in to place: This shows the tool when in removal "mode"; note that the bearing sets have different diameters so pay attention to where they fit. Removal requires the... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
First a huge shoutout to AGLR4 who first mentioned shortening the crank pulley bolt and has been providing me guidance on how much he removed, from what end; etc.... As you can see I removed just shy of 1 1/4" inches from the right hand threaded portion of the bolt; this in essence removes the... -

Yeah same question as Land Rover - you're not deserting us are you??? -
Risk of overheating damage - signs?
There's been a lot of threads recently about checking your cooling fluid with a kit from Harbor Freight; I don't know the exact details but you can determine if there are exhaust gases in the coolant and if there are it's indicative of a leaky head. I would start there; many others have pointed...
