Did that thing ever quiet down? I would have grabbed the dipstick as a reflex too.
We did check the oil before we started my buddy dan hadn’t checked it with us.Did that thing ever quiet down? I would have grabbed the dipstick as a reflex too.

I did change the oilI hope you did what I and a couple of others suggested and changed the oil and filter. Then pulled the wire on the coil pack and turned the engine over to re-lubricate it. After a long period sitting all the oil recedes to the oil pan and when first started it's metal on metal.
Also, Stew is correct about the difference between earlier and later Rover V8 liner failure. It's possible on any Rover V8 engine, but far more likely on a D2 than on a D1. I thought that was widely understood, but this thread would suggest otherwise.
Really good advice here on all points3. Create a way to track your work on your Rover.
IDK those cocks the guy is selling can aledgidly keep a truck from rolling over them. I bet Josh would like one of those.IDK that it was some kind of fugazi contest. Only that it happens and should be considered when a vehicle has been left to rot.
I'd say I'm GCS that wonders how a mook with an IQ of 85 became a LR mechanic.Oh hey. I'm setting up a profile for you on a really popular dating website. Would you consider yourself a golf cart mechanic who hates Land Rovers? Or a lawn mower mechanic who hates Land Rovers? How big did you say your chock was?

I'm getting a lot of smoke. I changed the oil, spark plugs and wires, and air filter. I put some Lucas fuel injector cleaner when I first started it and it keeps smoking. I've been driving it around a parking lot and I drove it to the gas station and the engine made this noise. It sounded like popcorn popping when I gave it some gas. This car has been sitting up for about three years, does it just need time to burn off all the bad stuff?

The smoke is whiteWhat color smoke? Whitish from unburnt gas or antifreeze or blue from burning oil. If an engine is burning oil then no, that doesn't normally just go away. If its oil then it's getting into the combustion chamber somehow. Either past the rings or through the valves. Antifreeze could be a blown head gasket.... cracked block.. dropped liner.. blah, blah, blah.
