So far the damage is 1 short block, camshaft, lifters, rockers and valve job w/3 bent valves. Total parts and machine work cost, about 2000 bucks. Yes that stubby thing is the camshaft.   Tbow (Tbow) Member Username: Tbow Post Number: 31 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 07:51 pm:    Here's a few more pictures..   Land Rover Certified Used A**hole (Jason) Senior Member Username: Jason Post Number: 286 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 07:52 pm:    You can get a new shortblock for around $1200 and some new heads on E-Bay for less than $800. Keep your eyes open...new is usually better than used and machined (well, unless you had some $$$ headwork on your current heads)!   Normorsch2 Unregistered guest Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 11:25 pm:    Damn, that looks bad. However, the absolute worst I ever saw was a 4.0 at a LR dealership taken out of a '97 D1. It had been driven by a soccer mom who NEVER changed the oil or filter, until it literally exploded -- it had 3 or 4 piston rods driven out of the sides of the block and the "oil" had been reduced to a more or less solid brick in the sump. I was in there trying to trace a tapping sound that came about after the "little woman" ran my old 3.9 out of oil. Seeing that demolished 4.0 made me feel just a little bit better. ---Norm   todd slater (Toddslater) Member Username: Toddslater Post Number: 208 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 09:12 am:    Now that is some good carnage.
