    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    Do you realize they weren't even made by the same company? People like you are what make forums like this intolerable.

    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    These motors are completely different than what you are talking about. The dealer is the only source for some of this stuff. So I had no choice. The engine you are referring to is over 25 years old and I'm sure I could find cheap parts for one of those as well. Plus there is a lot more info out...

    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    I cleaned out the loose material in the cat. Hopefully it doesn't plug. No emission checks here so I can live with a check engine light if I need to. My heads were warped out of spec so I have some used ones coming from ebay that I will send to the machine shop, and fingers crossed they check...

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    While working on mine I was reading the workshop manual from topix and it actually shows a picture of the tensioner and the tensioner blade and says "if they look like this replace with these" but it doesn't give a date range and has running change type of feel to it.

    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    I can see damage to the left cat. No smog tests here though so that's a relief.

    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    I haven't owned the thing long, but I suspect the previous owner overheated it. It had been having problems and I was suspecting that I had a slight head gasket leak when I had an upper radiator hose blow and I overheated it. After that it was for sure head gaskets. I am going to do a waterpump...

    Has anyone had headgasket done?

    I have a 2010 LR4 with at least one blown headgasket. I was in the process of diagnosing a miss on the even cylinders and a hard start when the truck overheated and proved my suspensions true: blown headgasket. My question is when they things overheat does it ruin the heads? I have the ability...

    Where to find a parts book?

    I am in need of a parts book for one of these. I didn't see one on the Topix website but I could have just missed it. I did see one on one of the LR dealer sites but it was pretty crude. I live 2+ hours from the dealer and I want to be able to see what the parts guy there is seeing. Any advice?

    Service ManualS

    I did that the other day and it worked well. I paid $8 for an hours access to only the service manual and I spent the next hour downloading everything I thought I would need. There is no direct download button, but what you can do is open a section and select the print option and it brings up a...

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    I have only owned it a few weeks. I think I figured out why the previous owner sold it though. In general when that happens does it ruin the head or just head gaskets? It is hard to find a lot of information out on the web.

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    It was hard to tell. It wasn't oil. I was hoping it was fuel from leaking injectors but it didn't burn when I held a lighter up to the plug. I know I sound crazy here but when I licked (yeah I know) the plug it tasted sweet. I was trying to mentally force it to not be heads gaskets but I think I...

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    Changing the spark plugs only bought me about a day of no trouble, and I had to add coolant again.

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    I pulled plugs 2 and 4 yesterday and found that they were coated in grime and wet. I pulled 5 for comparison and it was clean. I cleaned up 2 and 4 and put them back in. I started it this morning and it only missed on 4 and 8, which I didn't clean. I am going to do all 8 plugs because it is...

    Looking at the LR4 for a family hauler

    I have 3 car seats side by side in my second row right now. They all touch but they fit.

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    Well I put the sensor on there and it seems to have solved part of my issue. Before the car wouldn't start unless put through clear flood mode. Now it fired right up every time but I am still getting DTC's for 2,4,6,8 misfire in the first 1000 revolutions. I am thinking VVT issue of some kind...

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    Thanks. I just got the sensor from the guy I bought the thing from. I am going to buy an hour of info from Topix and put this thing on. I will update when I see if it made any difference. If it doesn't I'll let it sit overnight and pull the plugs to see what can be seen. I guess if one injector...

    2010 LR4 Misfires on 2,4,6,8

    I just bought this car sight unseen from a dealer about 3 and half hours from me. It ran fine for a day or so and then when the car was started after sitting for awhile it would misfire. I called the dealer and he said it was a fault with a fuel pressure sensor and he is sending me one, but I...
