that would explain a lot
I don't think it is ....
The 15J Sherpa engine doesn't have an alloy cam belt cover, and it does have a different water pump. If we had a pic looking down at the front of the engine we could be sure.
I reckon his engine is a N/A 2.5 The inlet manifold looks Sherpa-ish though....
Maybe it is a Bitsa?

the sherpa engine should have what's basically just a tin plate covering the front of the timing case. but as you say, you can't really see in the pics cos the battery is in the way.
and the timing case itself is a different shape, meaning the injection pump is mounted higher up, which in turn means you don't have to alter the chassis engine mounts to fit it.
if it's a 2.5 n/a out of a defender, then the injection pump will be lower down and the drivers side engine mount will have to have been cut off the chassis and replaced.

Definately Not A 2.5 Looked At My Old One In Lovells Yard Yesterday N Its Nowt Like That
Oh yes, it's a 2.5 Landy Engine alright - no doubt about that.
Question boils down to which variant or mixture of bits?

i wer right on me firstest guess
Hmmm...... is that so ?
What about military ones then ?
Loads of them filled the oil into a tube, and NOT into the rocker cover.
My lightweight engine is like that, though it ALSO has an oil filler cap on the civvy alloy rocker cover presently fitted..
