All,

I am interested in learning about engine replacement (can't fix the tick).

Assuming that it will be:
- Remanufactured or new (not interested in used)
- Block and heads (want to replace everything associated with the tick)

Any experience with engine suppliers?

Look forward to learning from the experience of others.
Thanks.

 

What's the plan afterwards? on road commuter or off road warrior?

honestly I would just shop for a donor. maybe a wrecked (rear end) donor? that would be the cheapest/easiest route.

 

And why can't you fix the tick???????????????
Go to the top of this section and read my sticky regarding valve train noise.

 

Mike,

I have read the article about clearance of the pushrods / lifters. There were no shims in my truck. It is not clear for me how shims relate to low oil pressure. I think that my problem is that I have 7-8 psi of oil pressure. The RAVE manual says >10 is minimum. 1500 rpms brings oil pressure and the end of the ticking.

Where do you go to fix oil pressure after a new front cover (oil pump), lifters/pushrods/rocker arms/rocker arm shaft, new main bearings and new rod bearings?

Thanks in advance if you can provide any information.

Unfortunately, Japser doesn't do Land Rover engines (at least for a D2), something I've brought up with our sales rep. That's really too bad, because they could probably come up with a permanent fix for every single problem that plagues these engines!
