Today was another good day! Didn't get as far as I wanted to, but I made some good progress, and now it'll all have to go back together tomorrow.
Today's accomplishments include: Rolling the frame out from under the body, disconnecting the final bits holding the engine in the frame and pulling the engine. I was then able to get the right bank header swapped over, the alternator installed, some more of the fuel lines, the right engine mount bracket - I have new engine mounts I need to install on the brackets....and a few other random tasks.
Things to note:
1. Both front and rear drive shafts have to be disconnected at the transfer case (at least) in order to get clear of the transmission.
2. The starter is different between the Jag and LR engines.
3. The power steering pumps are different too...but I totally cheated and looked up their respective part numbers.
4. The fuel supply hard lines are similar but not the same between the Jag and LR. Aka, I had to pull my hard lines off and swap them with the existing ones from the LR4. It was no biggie as I had forgotten to put the stupid little foam boot things on the HP Fuel pumps anyway.
5. Discovered that when I installed the right bank heads, the exhaust manifold heat shield got tucked under the head and I pinched it when torquing the head bolts....I can't prove it yet, but this could be why I couldn't pull a coolant system vacuum....maybe....although I'm still fairly convinced the block is cracked on the left hand side somewhere.
6. the engine and transmission together weight less than 1 ton...or at least the 1 ton engine lift was able to handle it.
7. the engine mount brackets are different between the Jag and LR....it looks like the LR's mounts are slightly farther back than the jag's, which would make sense given the fact that transfer case is hanging off the back of the transmission shining the weight a little further back.
Finally got some pictures....probably gonna make 2 posts out pf the pics:
Frame's out:
Engine's Out!!!!
Finally starting to look like a finished engine...
