The most useful use of vaseline yet, cannot wait to see the engine mounted. you did alot of fixing and re-mods to get this to cometogether so far. so nice to watch
Yep! I’d never heard of using it to prime an oil pump before but I’ve heard horror stories about getting the oil pressure up in these v8’s so thought it would be a good idea to follow the book! Thankyou for watching, commenting and support. It makes me keen to continue.
Hi Olie, loving the channel. That engine seems to be the serpentine engine which was fitted to the later soft dash RRCs and Disco 1s. Also after this they lost the distributor in favour of coil packs... also 4 fewer head bolts on each side which if you look on the heads you can see the old spaces for them between the spark plugs. This incarnation had the superior oil pump design. When the time comes, look into a Petronix LU-181A ignition module and do away with all the old lucas crap. Personally I prefer the serpentine design, I can see why you want to keep the authenticity but being a 3.9 I would have preferred the serp setup. Great content I always love watching anything to do with these old classics :-)
Hiya! Yes. We’re pretty sure it’s actually a 4 litre now.. it’s had some weird expensive components fitted at some point. The front cover is a strange one as it’s a crank driven pump like you say but also takes a distributor! Either way I’m happy with how it’s now coming out. It’s in the engine bay now! I can’t remember if I’m running points of electronic ignition at the moment. Not sure which distributor I bought!
Epic! That horrible stage of a project too. At the beginning, everything is quite cheap because costs get spread out - at the end you just have to get the bits: oil pump - gimme; distributor - gimme... and so it goes on! Grumpy wife but a beautiful Range Rover!
Yep it all seems nice and easy. One out one in off we go! It’s the little bits that add up too. Must have over £150 just in gaskets and another £100 on bolts alone! Currently stuck as flywheel bolts were incorrect
The bottom end bearings? No reason too the rear main bearing was hardly worn and the engine ran lovely when I had it. Easy enough to change at a later date. Didn’t want the cost to run away with it.
Also forgot to mention in the video but I welded a small blob on the side and filled it down so I had to hammer the pin in so I’m happy it won’t go anywhere

Very nice work! Can’t wait to see it running again 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Soon hopefully!!!

Very good work! Only thing in mind is : Why didn't you replace the bearings when you were already there?
The bottom end bearings? No reason too the rear main bearing was hardly worn and the engine ran lovely when I had it. Easy enough to change at a later date. Didn’t want the cost to run away with it.
@@Automotiveoliebetter do it all together. These engines run good with all worn bits inside.
@@Coordinator61 agreed. If it ever needs a rebuild I’ll do it in one go. Nothing I’ve removed suggests anything is massively worn.
@@Automotiveolie Ok i hope its fine now. I know these engines.
Doesn't loctite give when heated up?
Should be alright. Only used it as an after thought. It’s double nutted against each other so should be ok
