Finishing up a head gasket job and I've gotten to a part that I didn't document when taking it apart. On the back side of driver side head there are three bolts. Two 14mm bold and a bolt with a L shaped bracket. The pic below shows the bracket and the top center 14 mm bolt. There is another 14 mm bolt to the lower right.


What are these for? I know one is for the engine harness and I'm assuming one is for the earth lead. But the engine harness seems to need to fit on the top center 14 mm bolt, but if I do that the earth lead doesn't reach the bottom right one. If I connect the harness to the bottom right it doesn't quite reach where it needs to go. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I believe that holds the crank sensor BOSCH Crankshaft Sensor (Genuine Part # ERR7354) - Engine Parts For The Land Rover

If memory serves the harness clip can only slide in one particular way into the bracket notch. It was a bit of a pain to merry up.

 

That sounds right...how about the other two bolts? Any idea?

 

Do you already have the head on?

Here is a picture of the earth lead. I hope this helps. It looks like it connects right where the valve cover meets the head. On the top outside (driver side) corner of the head. In other words, I think the earth lead goes where you have that L-shaped clip right now.


I think the big bolt on the top inside corner of the head (the one in your picture) is for the wire harness.

I think the that L-Shape bracket is for the CPS and I think that bolts into block (right below where the head and block meet), not the head.

 

I put a red circle around the bolt the holds the CPS bracket (that L-Shaped bracket) and another around the Earth Lead.

 

I just rechecked and the L-Shape CPS bracket goes on the bottom outside corner of the head (Not the Block like I thought).

So the three bolts are:

1)Bottom outside (driver side) corner of head= L-Shaped bracket

2)Top outside corner of head= Earth Lead

3)Top inside corner of head= Wire harness
(BIGGER OF THE 3 BOLTS)

I made a quick drawing to help explain.

 

Thanks so much Jared9220! The head is already on. Your diagram is the way I originally thought it was meant to be. However when I attach the engine harness to the inside bolt, the green lead wire (ground?) from the engine harness doesn't seem to reach where I THINK I should be connecting it.

In the pic below I am pointing at the location I am trying to connect the green lead wire. Is that the correct location? The bad thing is you most likely can't verify by looking at an assembled engine...

The original location of the green wires was under the spark plug wire clips on the back of the upper intake.

One of the experienced rover techs, therealassmikeg I think, said that some of the techs would move the wire to where you indicate on the fuel rail. I like this idea and did the same when I replaced my upper intake this weekend. The last time I did it I fought with those ground wires for quite some time.

 

Thanks to both of you for your help...a little online confirmation can relieve serious wrenching frustration!
