Previous owner took this rig to a dumb mechanic. Between #3 and #5 cylinder a raised thread repair which caused problems as you can see from the gasket. Then the mechanic stripped one of the bolts and just left it there. Hey I can’t complain it was free. But this engine is coming out.

I have working on my 1997 disco taking off the head bolts and one was stripped. What’s a good kit to repair the stipped thread, 97 disco 1 petrol 4.0 gems

Thank you so much. Big help. I am planning on taking off the heads and getting them redone. Once I check all the lifters too. I will place everything back. I was going to the salvage yard and pick up some rods but if you have some that would be nice. a friend gifted me this Disco. He...

#1 , #7 ,(really bent rods ) #6, #8 (slightly bent and rocker pushed over )

Ok thanks guys. Really big help. I am learning a lot with the RAVE book and this forum.

Update! bent push rods ! I am going to do a leak down test and check the compression. This vehicle is a project and I really dont want to do a total rebuild. Question: if the leak down test is good you think I can get away with just replacing the rods and maybe the lifters ? Should I replace...

Update did a compression check and #1 zero pressure #5 zero compression.

Got offered a 4.2 from a LWB. I wanted to drop it into my 1995 Land Rover discovery but did some research and haven’t really got a good answer if it’s just “plug and play” some say you need to change the flywheel and “chip the ECM” has anyone place a 4.2 with a dizzy into a 94-95 disco ?

I am in the same boat. I am thinking of rebuilding it. I just got a chance to get a 4.2 from a 95 LWB. But don’t know if that will be plug and play in my 95 disco heard you need to chance flywheel , ECM chip, etc….

I decided to keep it lol.

It worked ! Thank you guys so much. This was driving me crazy. Went with a britpart for the a arm ball joint. thanks again !

I got it running but still have that code p1313 And now it has a loud “rover tick “. I really like this Rover 96 disco nonsunroofs and it’s white my fav. thinking of just pulling the engine. And taking my time with it. i am going to spend more time on my 95 disco. Thank you all for the help

Update. Checked all the UJ DS and all look good. No binding. Checked the brake shield and nothing stuck. I do have a massive leak coming from behind the parking brake drum / tcase which flings gear oil all over the undercarriage. recently checked all oil levels on the drivetrain all good. I...

Thank you. The previous owner replaced the radius arms front and rear. Also I am in the process of installing a double cardan in the front. Also I failed to mention that there is a 1 inch spacer in the back bringing the grand total of 3 inches lift with the stock DS. Thinking of getting a rear...

So I recently lifted my 95 disco 1 2inches and I hear a chattering kinda clunking metal noise coming from maybe the rear driveshaft area. i attempted to replicate this several times and found the noise happens when I am cruising at 7-2 MPH when I let off the gas it stops if I accelerate or...
