Took the rangie out for a good spin today after i rebuilt the engine. all fine there but i have a rumbling below between 40 and 70. Its like going over concrete motorway but a bit quiter. Wheres my first port of call for diagnosis thanks

Thanks. Been to an indy who said the opposite this morning Wont be going there then

Have the cat rattle I'm afraid. Its on LPG so the need for cats is not high priority. I did read on here somewhere that you can use self tappers to stop the rattle. Can anyone confirm this and where on the cat is best pinned and what size of tappers

Hooked up the basic diagnostics reader this morning as the fuel trims is getting on my mams. Looks like the O2 sensor on bank 2 is shot. Now which is bank 2 Is is passenger or drivers side to avoid confusion regarding looking from the front or rear. V8 thor engine Thanks

All done and purrs. Did the 15 minutes at 2000 revs. Had a small leak of water from the rear but now plugged. What happens when you buy a new car. Sit in the car on the for court and Rev for 20 mins before you buy ?

The good news it all went well with the start up yesterday with the new cam and other essentials. Now I need the fuel trim resetting. Is it a test book case?

You can go through a load of problems that MAYBE this or THAT, but taking the heads off and having a look will draw to a conclusion. You could do a compression test first as this will tell you where to look when they are off.

Now the fun starts. If your taking the cam out here is a tip in putting it back. Screw the cam locking bolt in the end and clamp a pair of mole grips tight on the bolt end. This will give you fiddle power to get the can in the last bearing shell in the end.

Thanks. I think i'm going to chuck in some extra lube in with the oil so not to take chances. Already has Joe Gibbs building grease on all thing rubbing . Good article from Castor on V8 builds Just goes to show even the top builders get it wrong now and again. My last cam had 2...

Just about there with my new cam rebuild with loads of other new gear thrown in to make sure it's a kitten purr. Cam lobes covered in cam grease. Lifters soaked for three days. What's the official run in proceedure on first start up. It's difficult to keep the coolant topped up whilst...

That's a britpart cam as mine came like that. The Land Rover cam cam with shiney lobes covered in a hard grease. Don't use them Two lobes totally flattened and another total strip down. Yes I did lube them and yes I sat for 10 mins at 2500 revs on startup

You need to take the sump off to get the front cover off. Block of 3x2 between crack and side wall does the trick and works a treat. Steady pressure on a breaker bar with a 24mm socket. Job done. Just put my cover back on so will be tightening it up tomorrow

Looks like the rimmer bro is a Britpart cam as the lobes are black like the one that's chewed up I've just replaced. I'd go with the one on the bay if you can identify where the cams from

Thanks for the off but will make one myself as i'm doing it tomorrow. Easy construction. Might even make out of wood !!!!! Will post a photo if it works If they made Stonehenge and pyramids with wood then I don't think a rear bearing cap will be too much hassle

Saintv8 guide in how to section very good. The 80deg turn on all the bolts is a pain especially if your on your back. I still have to strip out the starter motor and the drivers side engine mount to get to all the cross bolts. Grrrrrrr

Have just about dismantled the whole of the engine. New shells at the bottom and a second new cam going in. Yesterday I managed to get the old new cam out. 2 lobes had disappeared on the exhaust on the passenger bank. So not able to exhaust , so the result was a burnt gasket ring...

Just started the big ends and they needed doing. Getting the angle gauge in and tightening is a pain ��

Yes Sir I'm now gearing myself up for a black face and dreadlocks from the oil drips The only thing is I don't have a 12 bit 10mm socket so off to halfords for that. I've not ordered the mains yet. Where is the best place for these also the rubber gasket for the rear Island 4x4 do them...

I've just about stripped the engine down to basics to replace cam and head gaskets. All the valve gear is being replaced at the same time so hopefully no rattle from my block when its all back together. The sump is off and I have new big ends and the bolts. Is it possible to do a good job...

I've purchased a new LR cam from ebay for £30 (4.0 lt V8). It is genuine and comes sealed in the original box. Its still available . I used a Britpart one a few years ago and need replacing after chewing up a follower. So new one going in at the weekend. Just search for p38 camshaft and...
