    87 octane Fuel Vs 89 or 93 Octane

    Gotcha. Forgive me, I have a bad case of CRS (Can't Remember S**T). It's a precurser to OldTimers. It's kinda like a bad case of D.A. (Dumb A**).

    87 octane Fuel Vs 89 or 93 Octane

    I have a 2000 P38 w/4.0 SE low emissions engine that blew a head gasket last winter in northeast Maryland. I had to leave "Godzilla" at a specialty shop over the winter. The owner of the shop, a great Range Rover mechanic, pulled the heads, found 1 hear was .003 our of plane & 1 head was .006...

    03 Range Rover loud engine ticking noise

    OK, This is old timey hot rodder stuff, If the noise is higher pitched and increases in frequency, possible lifter leakdown. If the noise is a little heavier and at double speed of the engine, possible piston/rod wrist pin. If a heavier sound like a thunking, possible rod bearing. If the noise...

    Parts Interchangeability Range Rover

    Interchability of parts Thanks Joey. The reason that I was going for the small block 400 was its displacement and narrow size. If the engine bay wasn't so narrow, I'd opt for a 427/390 hp Chevy. It was the "low horsepower" base engine in 67 Impala SS's. With this engine I'd have plenty of...

    I have a question that no dealer has been able to answer. Here Goes: Given that the engines in Range Rovers with the exception of the BMW engines, are based on the old GM 215 cid all aluminum V-8 of the 60's, did BL/Land Rover keep the GM bolt patterns for the block to bell housing? I just...

    Is it a truck, though?

    I agree wholeheartedly, Range Rovers ARE a thing of beauty. Fluid lines, just enough rounding of the corners, what more can you ask for?

    A6e There was talk back in 67 about cross training some of our RIO's as BN's because we were losing so many air crews to AAA & SAM's up north. I know our squadron kept a lot of MiGs off of their sixes back then. I even got one kill in December of 1966, a MiG-21. I fired off 2 AIM 9's...

    A6e We're you the BN or EW Officer? I flew many a MiG cap missions up north flying high cover for A6b's off of the CV64 Constellation & Kitty Hawk. You guys had big brass balls flying unarmed. It was bad enough for us with 4 Sparrows & 4 Sidewinders. Back in 66 & 67 many was the time...

    Hi All I just purchased my first Range Rover, a 2000 P38 4.0 SE and am duly impressed. I told my wife of 43 years that I would either get her a military Hum-Vee or a Range Rover. Well, my BMW repair shop owner & mechanic was selling his wife's 2000 Range Rover with 178,000 miles. Since I...
