- a bit of a long vid put this is how I was taught to change the camshaft and do the timing on a land rover 2 1/4 engine
it took me several cups of tea, over several hours to fit the skew gear, so well done!
Thanks, I've got two more engine's to build i bet they don't go in so easy they can be a pain.
I had one of these engines in my series 3 109 station wagon. I then discovered Land Rovers Ultra reliable engine, the 186 Holden. Life was simple after that :)
Best video I've seen for series timing cheers
Thank you. Thats much appreciated 👍
The timing Cam wheel on the end of the cam shaft has a number of splines that allows for fine advance or retarding by a few minutes.. I'm hoping this may allow This might allow 20 degrees to be obtained bang on, if the pump drive is still out.... I see you have the 3 bearing 2.25. The 5 bearing 2.25 has a slightly altered Skew gear design, with one piece bronze bush and a thrust washer. Nice to see it being done...
Thanks for the input. 🙂👍
Brill, cheers mate! Exactly what I was looking for.
No worries, I'm glad it was useful 👍
Awesome video mate! This is going to come in handy in the near future 😂😂
Thank you! and thanks again for watching 👀🙂👍
Brilliant video man 👍🏻
Thank you. Much appreciated 👍🤘
love the work just wondering at the start of the cam shaft your tighteing the nuts anti clockwise and your ring is on the righr hand but later in the video your ring is on the left hand. is that a video thing had it before with photos.keep the videos coming really love them christy.
Thanks! 🙂 I was filming with my phone depending if I used the front or rear camera it would reverse the picture I figured it out eventually 🤦🏻♂️🙂👍
Cheers mate! Nicely explained 🔥. Little question. Does the flywheel has just one position on the crankshaft? Had someone paid to make a paint job and the shithead mounted the engine with the timing completely wrong (I even printed him the workshop manual). I think the EP mark is all lost and it doesn't indicate the right position. I'm trying really hard not to take the engine off the landy because I don't have the proper tooling, but I can't make the exhaust valve close completely while the EP mark is on the indicator. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Hi, the flywheel can only be fitted in one position there's a locating pin that lines it up.
The EP mark indicates when the exhaust valve is fully open not closed.
Best of luck and thanks for watching. 🙂👍
Hi mate. I am just about to replace my chain and sprockets but the new cam sprocket I have only has one keyway and I can't find a multi keyway version new anywhere. Would you reccomend using the old sprockets if they are not too worn with a new chain or would you say use the new sprockets too even though there is only a single keyway?
Many thanks, for the video!
شكرا لك😊
Good work 🙏👏
Thanks. 🙂👍
Can i ask why 4/1000 of inch each side of the peak on cam
Great video thanks!
No worries,
Thanks for watching 👍
super video, i've been following all your videos of this build, and am at this same point in my rebuild.. i see you really need the flywheel on to do this job and i'm trying to decide if i should install the engine with flywheel in the landy and then do this timing, or do it on the floor, as you obvs cant do this on an engine stand.. whats that frame you have there? is the engine bolted down, or just lucky it fits?
Thanks🙂 the frame is a trolly for moving pool tables luckily the engine sits on it perfect if I didn't have it I would bolt it to the chassis it'll make things loads easier.
Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Hello csm good video cheers timing a 2.25 diesel would I be looking for the middle of the flat spot off the cam or the highest peak book vary Haynes manual says bring cam to high est peak and put the chain on .lr
book says middle of the flat spot so I set it at this but I would say it was lagging at this setting head scratch no sure
Hi, thanks for watching!
The middle of the flat spot is best if you've got running issues with it in the middle then you could also have other problems like a worn cam, injectors, fuel pump or fuel pump adjustment. 🙂👍
Thanks csm just have you ever set it just to the highest peak and put the chain on
Is the part of the skewgear the same for the petrol version? In the hayens workbook is the 20 degrees upwards instead of below the line?
شكرا
really good vid bro
Thank you 🙂👍
@@retro.restorations does this also work for a 2.25 petrol motor? I just fitted a new timing chain to mine but would like to know if the timing is correct, there are no 'P' indicator marks on the camshaft chainwheel on my motor, cheers
excellent video, just one comment a bit off subject, why does the engine look as if it is mirror image in fist part of the video?
Thanks! and yeah I had a few problems getting to grips with modern technology 🤦♂️but I sorted it after a few vids 🙂👍
I have a 1962 2a 2.25 petrol engine... with the TDC markings on the flywheel ETC... I know your engine is a 2.25 diesel, but for my petrol engine, would the procedure for mine be the same as yours for the camshaft, timing change, and skew gear, using the EP setting on my flywheel?
just blue a hed gasket on my 1978 series 3 have a spare engine from a 2a stripped down at the moment going to do it up and then swap it over i know its a 3 bearing compared to my 5 bearing any ideas.thanks.
A 78 series 3 would of originally come with a 3 bearing engine, and to be honest, unless you're thrashing it off road it won't be a problem, land rover and rover were using the 3 bearing crank for nearly 40 years without major issues unless driven really hard. Why not replace the gasket on the other engine? 🙂👍
I have a question. Are the camfollowers lubricated with oil from the rockers? I have two that keep getting chewed up. They look a little like multi point nuts......
Hi, yes there lubricant by the rockers and a small amount by the camshaft splashing in the oil bath beneath it.
When lining the skew gear up, do you turn the engine to top dead centre on the compression stroke (cylinder 1) then rotate again to the degree marks
The skew gear goes in at 13 degrees before top dead centre on cylinder one making sure its on the compression stroke its easy to get 180 degrees out on the wrong stroke 👍
Is it possible to confirm the timing by checking the #1 valve movement? Without pulling the head assembly? Cheers.
Yes its the exact same process except you put the dial gauge onto the rocker arm👍
@@retro.restorations Thanks so much. we have battled the overhauled 2 1/4 diesel, and it's winning. I feel the distributor pump may be 180 degrees out of time. Engine turns over, but it will not produce power/accelerate.
No worries 👍
It is easy to get it 180 out you need to make sure the piston is on its compression stroke when setting the pump and that the flywheel is set at 13 degrees before tdc if thats all correct the master splin on the skew gear will be roughly facing 4 o'clock when lining the pump the outlet to No1 cylinder will be in line with the master splin +or- a couple of millimetres.
I hope all the makes sense.
@@retro.restorations Thanks. it makes perfect sense. The green manual describes it. But I have never one to grasp book information. Practical, hands on learning has been my best angle of attack. I'll chat with my team and we will forge ahead. Thanks again. In the future, I have the old motor to test my knowledge.
We have the engine running. We are experiencing extreme amounts of white smoke. We are going to pull the distributor pump and verify the drive gear of the pump is properly aligned. AGAIN! We are experiencing what we think is pre-detonation.
Hi. What mean: EP? Thanks
It means exhaust port or exhaust valve.
من فضلكم اعطونا مترجم عربي ❤❤
You said highlighted where the FUEL PUMP sits !!. Did you mean distributor.
The fuel pump and distributor pump are the same thing its diesel so there's no spark distributor like a petrol 🙂👍
@@retro.restorations Sorry my mistake, just realised its diesel not petrol. Great video by the way well explained.
No worries! Thanks 🙂👍
Bro why is it mirror imaged?
I had some trouble with my phone for a few vids I sorted it after a couple. 🙂👍
why is this video back to front
I was filming it on my phone when I used the forward facing camera it was spinning it round back to front took me ages to figure it out but I've sorted now though 👍
lol - was wondering why things where not correct, then I realised he was tightening the bolts left direction!
🤣🤣🤣 I thought it would just look normal for you guy that are upside-down 🙃
@@retro.restorations lol, yeah but its back to front (meant for the Irish perhaps), if it was upside down no worries :D
@@rovertasmania7033 🤦♂️good point 😄👍
poor engines these, they eat timing chains they had them in the black cabs in the 60s but soon took them out and replaced them with the bmc diesel engines.
If maintained properly they can be very reliable one problem is when people change the timing chain they ignore the warn sprockets causing chain failure. Regular and thorough maintenance is the key. 🙂👍
