    Replacement block

    I am looking for a GEMS block to replace the cracked 4.6 in a D2 I recently acquired. I would also consider a Bosch block if it is known to be good.

    ABS sensor wiring

    I have a 2000 D2 that had a bad front driver's side wheel bearing. I wanted to put off the hub replacement until after this week, as I have a big road trip tomorrow. I got the 3 amigos yesterday and decided to go ahead and install the replacement (I had a new one that I had ordered last week)...

    Air bags to coils and keeping a battery for the night.

    I swapped my D2 from airbags to coils today and pulled the fuse under the hood for the sls. While driving a few miles, I noticed the light for sls never came on. However, when parked the truck, I noticed a clicking noise from where the compressor is. I pulled the 2 plugs from the compressor and...

    Beige Cup Holder

    Does anyone have 1 beige cup holder for a D2 with an insert and intact mounting tab? I bought one thinking it was a pair and really don't care for buying 2 more if I can avoid it. Alternatively, I will buy a pair if the price is right.

    Replace Dowty washers?

    I am rebuilding a 4.0 for a D2 for the second time in less than a year. I replaced the Dowty washers during the last rebuild, drove the truck for 2000 miles over a few months, then pulled and disassembled the engine. The Dowty washers are the washers that have a rubber ring in the center and...

    Torque converter

    Hello, I pulled the engine from my D2 to swap the camshaft, redo head gaskets, and check the internals. When pulling the engine, I thought I removed the torque converter to flywheel bolts, but left one in. Like an idiot, I pulled then engine with the torque converter attached and am now...

    Speedi sleeve for rear main crank seal

    I have a 4.6 crank and the rear main seal has worn a small groove into the surface. Is there a speedi sleeve for this rear journal? Or would it be fine just throwing a new seal in and running it. I have no clue if it was leaking before as this is a new (to me) short block.

    Ticking Tophat Times

    Sorry in advance for the longwinded post. I rebuilt the 4.0 engine in my 2000 D2 last summer and all was well for about 2000 miles. The engine started ticking at this point. Here is a video of what the "tick" sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6clqLLypFg I took the video after...

    External head gasket leak at 2000 miles post rebuild.

    I rebuilt the 4.0 in my 2000 discovery with flanged liners about 2000 miles ago. I had a machine shop that specializes in Darton sleeve installs do the liner install, skim the liners flush with the block, check/skim the heads for flatness, and machine the crank and rods to spec. I assembled...

    A million thanks to PT Schram

    I am in the process of rebuilding the 4.0 in my D2 with tophat liners, etc. This isn't my first engine build, but the first Rover engine I have dealt with. Anytime I have run into problems with this build, I take to the internet and can usually find an answer (usually on DWeb). I have learned a...
