After driving 600 miles across Texas in my 1986 110 (rebuilt 200TDI replaced the 19J just over a year ago), I arrived at my destination with a few seemingly unconnected problems: leaking and clicking fuel lift pump, oil leak around the cyclone breather, some oil in the hose going from breather to the turbo. It was smoking a bit more than normal and smoke was whiter than normal.
Upon returning home via a trailer, my mechanic also said the engine had quite a bit of blow by and also needed a new valve cover gasket.
Are all of these problems somehow related? I'm stumped as the engine is only 14 months old (looked brand new when it went in). It ran a constant 65-70mph for about 12 hours but I wouldn't think that would be a problem with these engines. The blown parts may be due to cheap non Land Rover parts, but the talk of blow by is scary!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
