Hi everyone,
I am wondering what I need to do in the near future with my Rover approaching the 180 mark..
I don't leak more than any other Rover.. Just the oil that is dripping off the oil filter that I can't seem to figure out where its coming from... HAHA
I just replaced the rocke rshaft and currently I am replacing the lifters. I need to know ASAP if I need to do a Camshaft as well? Hopefully this eliminates the knocking sound. I've been told its the lifters.
Thanks for your thoughts.

 

Oil weep from the front crank seal has a habit of being blown by the fan onto the oil filter and beyond. Oil cooler lines? [I would be happy if mine just leaked at the filter!]

 

By no means am I complaining!! my oil lines aren't leaking but should I still look into them for replacements?

 

I have read that the o rings on those cooler lines tend to allow a leak, maybe they need refreshed?

 

Oil pressure switch, it is right above the oil filter.
Here is what you need to do at the 180k mark...nothing extra, just what ever other maintenance is needed for the amount of miles you have driven since the last time you performed that maintenance.

 

Funny you mention the oil pressure switch. I just blew out the O ring that went around it. What a mess. I also broke them damn thing off in the engine, thank God for craftsmen philips screw drivers. I jammed it into the pressure hole and was able to twist and get it out!
