Hi there chaps,
I have bought an E reg 90 land rover for the first time and on the way back from picking it up, it broke down. It appears that one of the push rods broke and so on, as we think that the timing chain jumped . I have replaced all of the push rods, valves, valves springs, hotspots, exhaust valve guides including all seals and finally had the head planed flat, although it was prob ok. I have put it back together following the Haynes manual but the valve and crank time is well out, as the valves hit the pistons when I turn it over by hand. I have re-timed it, I think? It starts now but smokes a lot and has not got much power. I have run out of ideas and would like any advice. Please can anyone help ?
Cheers
Sono
