Timing Chain, Oil Gears.

Timing Chain, Oil Gears.
So I am in the middle of replacing my oil gears in my non tsb disco II '03. I had a tap tap tap and started noticing my oil light was not going out as quick as I would like unless I parked down hill. Read another post and decided to go in...low and behold my outer ring was in two pieces with a little scoring around the outer broken ring. The toughest thing so far was the crankshaft bolt. I ended up wedging a wooden hammer handle in the flywheel and pb bustering it overnight. Came out the next morning with my 24mm socket and breaker bar and crawling under the truck. using my legs against the inner passenger tire I was able to break it by hand. I was very surprised. I have heard this whole process is easy but it has taken me a little while.

It sounds like you are coming along in the job well. A trick when you go to put the harmonic balancer pulley back on the crankshaft. Stick a lever bar back up on the flywheel teeth. It will prevent it from turning, if you can wedge it right. Also block of oak wood can do the trick too. Just remember to remove it before you put the oil pan back on!

Your Rover your method though

Yeah, being careful is the key I think. I would rather sacrifice wood than metal tho. I like disco mikes tool but i just do not have the machining tools now. thanks for the idea. I use some sense when forcing things so wish me luck. Does anyone know about a bevel on the replacement oil pump gears?

I avoided the teeth for a reason. Also bracing against the counterweights on the crank because the outer wall of the block looked thin to me but the cut outs on the flywheel looked safer because its steel and close to the turning radius. idk it worked on mine. so far...btw i had to remove 10 bolts instead of nine on my timing cover to remove it.

You must first take a young ford into the field and slit it's transmission line and let it bleed out to honor the Rover God's.
