If you need to get all technical at some stage here is the timing info from the manual
I'll also send you a copy of the engine service manual as it may be of some help.

Got a couple question for all you experts or self-proclaimed experts...
1) Should I take the head off or put it all back together and see if it works first?
2) if a tappet or valve is damaged do i run the risk of causing more damage to the motor if I try to start it?
Thanks in advance for your time

Removing head is safest option if you have good facilities and tools, else you might have to suck it n see. It might be enough to get you to a proper workshop. It is unusual for valves to be damaged.

Hi Gary
I take it you got the stud out ! If you get it timed up CORRECTLY then I would take a chance & run it up you aint got a lot to lose ! & if it runs ok then your on a winner & if it dunt then you will have to take it to bits & sort it

OK thanks.. that kinda answers that as I have neither all the tools or goo facilities... we are in a parking lot that gets rained on once or twice a day (torrential downpours) if I take the head off I need new bolts and gasket according to the manual...

Steve
That is exactly what I need to know... if I do start it up and it runs well and smooth then there is "definitely" nothing else wrong e.g. no vent valves or anything else?

The overhaul manual says discard the 18 bolts securing the head...NOT new bolts but def A NEW h/g

Gary when it went BANG It bent the weakest part of the motor / push rods ! So with New rods & timed up correct & tappets set up right with a bit of LUCK you should have a running motor without to many pops & bangs (only kidding )

Gary when it went BANG
Steve
Well I got the bolt out, was much tighter than I thought it would be, and a lot more of it was in the cam also... never the less it's out and we just now need the parts to arrive.
I will hope for a bit of luck and if we don't have any I hope we can limp to the land rover mechanic that's 2 hrs away...

Anyone have a part number or bolt size for the camshaft pully retaining bolt, Ive searched a while online and checked in the manuals but they don't have the part numbers... Anyone have an exploded diagram of the cam with part numbers?
Cheers and thanks!
