Misfire cylinder 8
I would start with a compression test on the cylinder at this point, might also be beneficial to boroscope the cylinder to see if there's any obvious damage -

Engine smell when flogging it
I live in Denver, flogging it is sometimes not a choice when driving up a steep mountain pass but I haven't smelled anything weird when doing so. Might be a manifold leak as someone else has pointed out. Do you know if the manifold gaskets were replaced when the timing chains were done? Another... -

2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
Between 3-4k would be the sweet spot depending on vehicle maintenance and condition. -

2011 LR4 TIMING JOB
I have done this job in conjunction to an overheat on my 2010 LR4. As others have stated, it's doable but it is a challenge considering the unknowns. If you have skipped timing, you should be removing the heads to inspect for bent valves, stretched valve guides and damage to pistons and... -

WTB: Trailer Harness for LR4
Must be for model years 2010-2013, unfortunately earlier and later harnesses don't work. -

Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
If I wasn't mechanically inclined and I was in the same situation as you, I'd go for option 3 hands down. Find yourself a lower mileage engine, have the timing chain components updated with the redesigned parts if it's not already done and have all the critical cooling parts replaced along the... -

Running BFG 275 65 18's
Anyone here running BFG KO2's in 275/65 18 know if I need to cut gram horns to make em fit? I'm currently running Goodyear wranglers in 265 65 18's; the KO2's only seem to be a 1/4 wider -

LR4 5.0L overheating at idle
This! I had the exact symptoms, turned out to be a thermostat stuck in closed. Pulled over, gave it a few whacks and it released. Could also be a bad fan clutch and it's not engaging when it should be, would warrant a rad fan assembly replacement. Personally I would replace both for peace of... -

LR4 won't move
Did you see any codes/engine lights on the dash as you heard the clunk? I had a similar issue once when I went over a big bump and the battery terminal cable must've loosened when this happened, it threw a bunch of codes including the transmission, and the shifting got super weird as you... -

Every Fault Known To Man
Plus one on this - I've had the exact same issue with a loose battery terminal cable and the dash lit up like an Xmas tree. Also, had a bad battery and had similar symptoms with random unrelated lights on the dash. -

Oil in Intake Manifold - Smoke on Startup
Any specific color or smells to the smoke? Might give you a better indication of what to tackle based on the color and or smell. As someone had noted, condensation burn off on initial startup is normal on mine as well but clears up after a couple of minutes -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
1 year update since rebuild It's been just about a year and 12k miles since rebuild. Engine is as strong as ever and at this point feel fully confident that the fix was permanent, well as permanent as a LR can be! I've had a few bugs as noted through other posts in the past. Most recently... -

When is it time to say goodbye?
I bought a 2010 LR4 a couple of years ago with 106k miles on the clock, got it for barely nothing as it had overheating engine issues and the dealer told the previous owner that it needed an engine replacement at a cost of $20k! Took on the project as I've seen these repaired and with the low... -

Roof rack and cross bars
Junk yard!! Lol seriously, I found a couple of genuine LR sets at my local LKQ you-pull junk yard. I got the rails and crossbars for under $100 with locking keys. Keep in mind that LR3 rails are the same, those are the ones I pick up from the yard but could be useful to search locally on... -

V8 Whining Noise
The viscous fan can also be responsible for ticking sounds... this issue may be one in the same -

V8 Whining Noise
A little bit of ticking is normal but if it's noticeably louder than it is likely timing chains/tensioners/guides, have those ever been addressed? There was a design issue that caused the steel tensioners to wear through the guides causing excess wear and play in the timing chains. A cheater way... -

Diy timing chain
I was thinking maybe the high pressure fuel pump, but it's been around for as long as you owned it so it's probably not a concern. Do you have a GAP IID tool? I've read that you can check for timing chain slack with it. My 2010 blew timing around 106k (bought it broken), the timing chain... -

Diy timing chain
Timing chain tensioners sound fine, there's a weird whine though that I'm unfamiliar with that is absent in my 2010. -

Air suspension faults when cold out
A stuck valve makes sense! Happened again this morning and once again went away again in the afternoon once it warmed up. A little bit of back story - I've gotten in the habit of lowering the truck every night as I've been parking it outside in front of the garage to give me some sense of... -

Air suspension faults when cold out
I was thinking about moisture being in the system causing issues, any solutions to that?
