So what did you do to your Disco today?
Next Fall I'll probably run the remaining northern half with my wife and kids.
Of course my wife would freak at me doing 60 down a dirt road, LOL.

I'm quite happy with the setup, worked awesome this weekend.
Water pump went south a few weeks ago. Replaced it, timing chain and gears and gave her a good cleaning inside. Put everything on and harmonic balancer had a bad wobble. Checked crank, good. So I bought a used harmonic balancer. Put it on and it has a wobble too. No clue as to why 2 would have a wobble. That I had it figured out thinking that the oil pump drive gear may have slipped towards the front of the engine when installing the timing cover and somehow wasn't allowing the crank pulley to go all the way in. After taking it apart and measuring the distance of the crankshaft gear from the block, I think I'm wrong. Anyone know if there's a thickness difference of the oil pump crank drive gear between Disco 4.0's?
Run the engine no pulley and watch the balancer a minute with no belts not gonna kill anything, just seems odd 2 bad balancers
In my experience on various engines crank pulleys can be bent easy, if not it then ???

Did a hood blackout with black Flexidip spray (like plastidip). Turned out ****ty. Thought I'd need one can, but needed four and coverage was still poor. Adhesion is also poor as it easily scrapes off. It's looks good right now, but as soon as it goes off-road I'm sure it's going to peel off.
