your giving up early has anything actually bust cant see to welll from the picGonna keep all the important bits for spares . some one will be stuck one day for a part.
Probably is something knackered, but its the fact that everything is just thrown about would take ages to sort out and put back together , thats if it is fixable. looking inside where the fuel pump goes on it is full of rust.your giving up early has anything actually bust cant see to welll from the pic
It Just getting the time , trying to do loads of different jobs at once.Agreed, its perfectly fixable. If you want to learn don't stop the lessons too soon. Getting this one to run will teach you a lot.

Found a local engine rebuilders and conditioners, might get a price from them, dont think they will take this one though.
You should be able to ship it to @jamesmartin for about £100.& same back.Anyone local to me who knows how to Rebuild Engines want a Job ?
Dont like to bother people but He did say once that he could do it I'm sure he will be along shortly. but depending on shipping might make the job an expensive one.You should be able to ship it to @jamesmartin for about £100.& same back.
you just secure them to pallets & say you need tail lift collection(unless you have a forklift)
Get a few quotes and if you don’t want the delivery done fast the price can drop a bit
I would just try and get it going, they are pretty robust.Well here we go again Round 2.
Picked this up today, lot better then the first one which was seized solid not even any oil in it.
Same engine 2.25 3 bearing. this one actually had oil in and can be turned by grabbing wheel with both hands.
Been informed that it was running well before the previous owner swapped it for 200tdi, I know the bloke so do trust him on that. Probably start and run as it is But it will be 40 or so plus years old so Been thinking and looking at it and I aint even gonna attempt it myself. but found another local rebuilders so going to get a price off them , would rather have it right then take a chance of fitting as is then braking down.
To be honest I think it probably will start straight up but I am renewing everything else axles will be fully rebuilt with brand new parts ect ect, chassis eventually galvanised, bulkhead welded up with bits it needs, so dont really want to throw a ancient engine in.I would just try and get it going, they are pretty robust.
You could do what @tottot suggests, or you can just put it in the vehicle.
Almost all engine work on a Land Rover can be done with the engine in the vehicle.
If you are putting it in a vehicle, one job that is worth doing first is examining the rear core plug on the head, and changing if necessary.
Another thing that is worth doing is giving the engine, and the engine bay, a coat of paint.
Be careful.To be honest I think it probably will start straight up but I am renewing everything else axles will be fully rebuilt with brand new parts ect ect, chassis eventually galvanised, bulkhead welded up with bits it needs, so dont really want to throw a ancient engine in.
Then again could be lucky and it will go for miles, but not sure weather to take that chance. will see what price the other engine rebuilders charge then decide from there.
Theres a few blokes that could do it near me but none of them have the time, still asking around so might get lucky and someone will take it on.
