Land Rover Died This Morning!!!

RE: Land Rover Died This Morning!!!
Technically speaking, there is nothing that you could have done to cause a collision between the valves and the pistons. Not on a pushrod engine with a rev limiter. The only ways for this scenario to manifest itself:
[ul][*]Timing chain failure.[*]Camshaft / crankshaft timing chain sprockets failure[*]Camshaft fracture.[*]Numerous valve springs, retention keys or valve stem failure at once.[/ul]You could not have caused anyone of these failure conditions to happen. I have seen this problem on pushrod V8 engines with 240 K Miles but not on the 4.6 L with 44 K Miles.
I am glad you are getting a new engine from LR, you deserve it, irregardless of this internal engine mechanical failure.
They can easily check by removing the valve covers / timing chain cover / compression check.
Keep us posted, very interesting...
