Please help. My 96 Discovery is in the shop with the engine torn down for a top end rebuild and my mechanic says he needs the torque specs before he can reassemble. If anyone has a spec sheet they could share with me, or can tell me where to find the info online, I'd be very gratefull.

My only other choice is to buy the shop manual, and at $150. US, that a lot to pay for a book I'll hopefully never have to refer to again.

Thanks.

 

I am guessing that you mean the torque settings of the bolts/nuts, right? I have no idea. Why did he tear it down if he didnt know what he was doing? Anyway...hope someone knows the settings...

 

Yes, the torque settings as found in the shop manual. This guy knows what he's doing. He's a pro mechanic to whom I've entrusted the wrenching on all my vehicles (from vintage VW Beetles and Ghias, to Corvettes, to new Jeeps and Toyotas) and have never been disappointed with his work. He's just never worked on a Land Rover before and instructed me to order the manual before he tore it down, but after just spending over $600 on parts, I was hoping to find the torque settings without having to pay an additional $150 for the book.

I believe it can help everyone with repair issues. At the following home-page you will find a PDF file with the Discovery's workshop manual:

This page is in portuguese, but the workshop is in english.
By the way, if anybody has a similar file for the owner manual for the 97 Disco 3.9, please let me know.
