I tested it yesterday evening coming home from the farm, plenty of heat with the 170.

I was always on the fence, leaning more on the side that LR Engineers knew better. Other than the off road mods, Ive always tried to keep the truck stock as possible, and discussions and opinions here, and elsewhere, were always 50/50 on this particular mod. My truck developed a slow leak...

I’m a “peace of mind” type and Head gaskets and oil pump/water pump, lifters, would be easy an easy job for even the moderately mechanical inclined person here; lots of how to/step by step for these motors. Pulling the cam (pulling the radiator would be the biggest PITA if you pull a cam).

2000 D2, 240K, 2" lift, 265-70-16's and always off road. Damn it! Don't think it's gonna work. Ordered a "kit" from AB, Delphi brand, upper are FTC3570 and lower is FTC3571. Old lower mic's out at 44.46 and new Delphi lower mic's out at 44.60/59 I'm afraid to try pressing in the new, lower...

Swapped in the Corteco, and Im leak free now. Took all of an hour.

following. I dream of a either a 300, 4BTS (rovingbeetle) or 2.8 Cummings swap in my 00DII. Good luck OP, and thanks for sharing.

This is cool, thanks OP for the heads up.

Just found this reference from another (firearm) site, thought I'd pass it along. Enjoy. https://www.auveco.com/land-rover

Late to the conversation, but I also just completed the oil pump/timing chain/front cover gasket task stemming from a front cover gasket leak, and like the OP, the cheap ass Britpart/Allmakes front cover seal is leaking like a sieve. thanks to the other posters for both the Corteco and sleeve...

I'm scavenging parts from a D2, and want to keep the transmission as a future spare. Its strong, and only has 160 I currently have the motor torn down to the block. I've got both an engine lift, and a transmission jack/lift. Whats your opinion on the following actions that would most likely...

Sold Pending Meet: Available. $600 Safety Devices LOW "Low Lander" Roof Rack for Land Rover Discovery 2. You must remove your factory roof rails-easy to do, plenty of how to online, Youtube. Rack is in good condition, light surface rust, and two areas where the rail is slightly bent. Only...

After two head gaskets, cyl no. 5 is flooded with coolant. With the head off, I'm not seeing a crack, or a point of ingress. 1. Any clues on what/where to look? I've got a machinist bar, but haven't checked flatness yet I may be able to get my hands on a 4.6 block from wrecked 04, and...

I just redid head gaskets on my D2 where I used ARP studs the last time, and yes, I pulled the three, top, long studs to get them out of the way, and be able to lower the head back on the block easily. Funny thing is I got the heads off WITHOUT having to remove those longer studs. Once I got...

NTC9416 is what I ordered from AB. Regardless, I got it to work, and am happy for now.

because we want to buy land for our very own Land Rover Driving Experience, then hang around afterward talking about our leaking trucks.
