I've searched but can't find anything, so here goes.
Does a Discovery 200 & 300 share the same engine block?

300 is based on 200 but is different , though they both share exactly the same bore and crank journal size as early 2.25 petrols etc

I'v pm'ed him.
I've had problems with oil pressure for some time now. I've rebuilt all the bottom end, new shells, oil pump & oil sqiurts. When I had the shells out I found the crank had a small step on the journals so it sounds like they have on oval, other than that could be the cam shaft shells.
So I'm thinking start on a rebuild in the shed ready & waiting for when it goes bang.
