Hi buddy

Good to hear, ur find this a great forum with plenty of help

Safe trip and indeed Plse let us know how things go
 
I started as an endentured apprentice and still have my documents, good experienced men shared their knowledge with me and all I had to do was carry the tools and go to the shop at lunch time.
Now it should be my turn to pass on what I learned but in so many industries experience seems to be like aids people who have it are not welcome and soon disappear, one of my life regrets is the chain ends with me.
I can't complain really I made a good living and now enjoy my retirement, but it doesn't feel right.


one of the things of progress is that companies want 'cheap'.. experience comes at a price.

It was politicians that effectively stopped apprenticeships describing them as "outdated in the modern technological age". Companies were quick to realise that it was cheaper to employ already trained staff than do the training.

Hi guys I’m back and straight at it. So I’ve got one injector out the first one on the right bank as viewed from front. I can’t pull the second one out using adjustable grips but it’s so tightly in I’m a little nervous of breaking it anyhow might go to the left bank and try to get those out.
I’m also looking at the sump is this as straight forward as it looks from below already got starter out any advice whilst I stop for a cuppa would be great

Thks for the update and got everything crossed for u mate

Indeed Plse keep the piccies coming
 
If you leave it in and pull off the sump, someone may photograph you and that would ruin your chances of getting elected in Canada.

Yeah, bit odd that. I doubt Aladdin was white. If I go to a fancy-dress dressed as a dog with floppy ears and a tail I wouldn't expect a mob declaring me a canine-ist. let alone as part of an amatuer dramatics group 20 years ago when I was half out of my skull on alcohol. He should have turned around and just said: f*ck off you miserable c*nts.
 
People are just so sensitive...
To the point it’s almost bazaar...,
I like forums
But I don’t partake in social media
It’s the downfall
Of modern society

Hello everyone

I am new on the LR side (before I ride an volvo XC90 and now an Ford Expedition)
But since my friend is buying an LR Dico 4 build in 2012 with SDV6 engine we also have some problems with that.

So I‘d like to discribe our problem and would be soooo happy, if someone could help with his experience:

Start…
Cylinderhead Cover bank 2 was broken so we dissassebleing and istalling 2 new once.
That was a good opportunity to also change the wasted hydros at the intake side
After assembling we learnes -> engine in not able to tourn over by hand (close to OT from booth sides)
We checked all cylinders and intake hole properly with a camera -> looking great
The blocking seems to be in the crankshaft, because we removed also the timing belt, set the camsafts to „free“
Engine is blocking furthermore matallicaly

Next…
We removed the front transmission gear and oil pan
No damage in the crankshaft, no visible blockings, no damage damage of shells
All looks fine… but engine is already blocking in the same position

Any Idea from the experts here?
Maybe P1Darbs did you have found something could help us?

Thx a lot and nice greets… Matthias

You should start your own new thread and not tag onto the end of an old 2019 post.
 
The SDV6 likes breaking cranks

thx datatek for answering…
Crankshaft looks ok. We dissasembled the oilpan, so that we have a proper look into the housing.
What I am wondering is, if we adjust zylinder 1 for OT and prepare the same at the camsaft side, normally I have to be able to turn the crankshaft over at least OT.

Following does happening:

Zylinder 1 goes over OT and the engine blocks when zylinder 1 is going to move down (about 2mm after OT)
Zylinder 4 comes near to OT and before reaching OT engine blocks…

I never have such a trouble in the past

Greetings Matthias
