one of the things of progress is that companies want 'cheap'.. experience comes at a price.

You're not old. Some of this lot are lucky if they go out with their pants on backwards ... Their neighbours are luckier still.

It was politicians that effectively stopped apprenticeships describing them as "outdated in the modern technological age". Companies were quick to realise that it was cheaper to employ already trained staff than do the training.

Re the sump. My tip is to take the oil out first before removing it.

If you leave it in and pull off the sump, someone may photograph you and that would ruin your chances of getting elected in Canada.

I always thought Canadians were sensible until the elected Trudy

Yeah, bit odd that. I doubt Aladdin was white. If I go to a fancy-dress dressed as a dog with floppy ears and a tail I wouldn't expect a mob declaring me a canine-ist. let alone as part of an amatuer dramatics group 20 years ago when I was half out of my skull on alcohol. He should have turned around and just said: f*ck off you miserable c*nts.

Hello everyone
I am new on the LR side (before I ride an volvo XC90 and now an Ford Expedition)
But since my friend is buying an LR Dico 4 build in 2012 with SDV6 engine we also have some problems with that.
So I‘d like to discribe our problem and would be soooo happy, if someone could help with his experience:
Start…
Cylinderhead Cover bank 2 was broken so we dissassebleing and istalling 2 new once.
That was a good opportunity to also change the wasted hydros at the intake side
After assembling we learnes -> engine in not able to tourn over by hand (close to OT from booth sides)
We checked all cylinders and intake hole properly with a camera -> looking great
The blocking seems to be in the crankshaft, because we removed also the timing belt, set the camsafts to „free“
Engine is blocking furthermore matallicaly
Next…
We removed the front transmission gear and oil pan
No damage in the crankshaft, no visible blockings, no damage damage of shells
All looks fine… but engine is already blocking in the same position
Any Idea from the experts here?
Maybe P1Darbs did you have found something could help us?
Thx a lot and nice greets… Matthias

You should start your own new thread and not tag onto the end of an old 2019 post.

The SDV6 likes breaking cranks
thx datatek for answering…
Crankshaft looks ok. We dissasembled the oilpan, so that we have a proper look into the housing.
What I am wondering is, if we adjust zylinder 1 for OT and prepare the same at the camsaft side, normally I have to be able to turn the crankshaft over at least OT.
Following does happening:
Zylinder 1 goes over OT and the engine blocks when zylinder 1 is going to move down (about 2mm after OT)
Zylinder 4 comes near to OT and before reaching OT engine blocks…
I never have such a trouble in the past
Greetings Matthias
