Hi mate Hi all i thought i would start a new thread on the re-build hope your well i put a picture of removed loom on your thread. seems like block can be saved crank never contacted block or mains caps not a mark. Block going to a local machine shop for all the measuring and honing looking for ideally a useable oem crank hoping to stay std will have it again checked and re-polished new shells, rings, oil pump and seals, gaskets etc also going to change one con rod. Have done a few top ends, oil pumps, turbos etc so looking forward to doing a bottom end have done a few but never a tdv6. re-building these engines can be expensive but you can halve the cost if you do it yourself and its not too wrecked if you want any pics of anything while apart keep the faith
hiya
apologises mate and many thks for the piccies , just thought with it being such a fantastic project it wouldn’t be as visible in the engine section as it is in the discovery section, , I feel really rude saying that now, hope it doesn’t come across like that
extremely grateful and very handy having them as a reference , thks so much
that’s awesome ur be able to resuse the block , funny enough thought about turbos etc and see u can buy cartridges for these turbos and wondered how it compares cost wise
know there’s a mod for the turbo ref the bolts/ nuts to aid removal if req with the body on, know it’s tight but also read a few threads where the complete turbo has been replaced
also heard if the crossover pipe isn’t secured it can fracture , looks like it happens to manuals more because when the clutches are changed they forget to re secure it so then later it cracks , so the gearbox has to come back out in order it can be changed
hope u also don’t mind me adding , that bracket for the air inlet pipe that I’ve been doing plse make sure it’s fitted before the engine goes back in as honestly mate it’s a complete
otherwise
really looking forward seeing the progress and once again many thks for the piccies and update
