The information from my other post the must haves are the crank sensor and the cam gear. Even with the new motor not having the sai. Can I still run it as is? I want to rebuild the 4.6 over the next year.

I got a good deal on a rebuilt 4.0. I have been getting a lot of great help on another post and wanted to get all the info on this swap together. What all needs to be done to get it run? There are no inspection or emissions where i live so a CEL is no big deal.I want to rebuild the 4.6 that's...

It currently won't start. It's acting like it's locked. I can't even get it to turn with the crank pulley bolt. I am heading back home tonite so I won't be able to mess with it until next weekend. Then I will be pulling the pan and getting ready to pull the motor. I am going to tear into the 4.6...

It didn't look brand new clean just like it had some run time on it. It wasn't solid black on the stick. I was driving it home and it started to lose speed so I pulled over popped the hood and it died and was smoking out of the dip stick. Yesterday I drained the oil and it was very bad when it...

Are those must haves for it to work? I thought I read that you could run the cam sprocket but you would get a cel. I'm going to do timing chain, oil pump, waterpump, gaskets etc so I will be changing it just curious.

Is this for performance gains?

Yes that sounds about right. I had never seen or smelled oil as bad as what came out of it.

I found a 4.0 out of a discovery. It is under 90000 mmiles. The disco was in an accident. Motor started and ran well. No knocking oil looked clean. What parts should I use from my 4.6? Heads, intake, etc?

What is the difference in the range rover and land rover engines? Will the 4.0 and or 4.6 work in the discovery.

Had some time so I went and drained the oil out of it. It was really sludge and smelt burnt. Put in some Rotella that I had and it started right up. Problem was it sounded like a diesel and shock like crazy. Sounds like new engine time

What year engine are direct swaps? I have found a lot of 3.9 and 4.0 for good prices. I know they are less horse power but from a cost stand point.

I want to thank everyone for the help. If this motor can't be saved while looking for another I will get it ready to pull.

I paid 1000 for it. In the past year it had trans rebuilt, lift installed, tires, all fluids in drive train and receipts for all the work. It looked new underneath. I took a chance on the motor. Having had a RRC for a few years I figured why not. i don't mind doing the big stuff it keeps me...

Where do I go from here? Drain the oil, pull the pan.

Yes it was on the way home after I picked it up.

It was black and all the way up the stick

This isnt mine but it sounds just like this when cranking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4k-SlGImPM

I hope not. There was oil up the stick when I was able to get it out,but it did look rough. It was full when I left. I still dont know why the stick was so hard to pull out of the tube. It took 2 hands while standing up on my tool box to reach it. When I did get it out the little black tip on...

I picked up a 2003 disco with 195000 miles on it. When driving down the high way it started to lose speed and when I pulled over and opened the hood there was smoke coming from the dipstick tube and then it stalled. I tried to pull the dipstick out of the tube and it took a ton of effort to get...

I was having issues with my dizzy and just did the toddco ignition upgrade. I figured I would try that on mine before I went the Mallory route.
