I can get hands on a Rover 620 Turbo with manual transmission. Will the bellhouse from this tranny fit the FL1 tranny?

Thanks folks. I'm a newbie at this forum, but are active and experienced user at the Norwegian Land Rover forum. Nodge68, You mentiones another thread. I haven't been abe to trace this thread. May you give me a hand?

Hi, Have any one ever made a conversion rom 1,8K engine to a 2 liter Rover 620 turbo engine in the Freelander? From pictures, the engines look similar, but I haven't had my hands on a T engine, so I don't know. If it's possible, I'm getting a 620 or similar from UK and brings it home to...

2 "new" engines on it's way from UK... Purchased on eBay I'm fed up of fixing engines boiled to death.

What will a block cost in the UK? I guess that £ 30-50 would be the shipping cost...

And to the point: What can be done now? I can put in some chims but still there will be differrent hights og the liners on ex and in side? But the fiering rings on the HG will carry the most of that differrence, I believe... Or?

The strange thing is that it isn't as you describe, but the opposite: On the front side (exhaust), the liners are above the block surface and on the rear (intake) side they are below the surface. Not mutch, but noticeable. The cylinder head has not been over heated since we purchased it...

Hi, I don't know if it's been over heated, but I assume it has. It shure need something to be done. I'll pull the engine tomorrow and fit another one instead. Then I'll decide what to do.

One of the liners (nr 4) are new... I don't think that's the main problem. But i have to put in chims (0,05mm) to highen the 3rd and 4th liner... And probably surface the cylinder head. jaja (yesyes) I'm eager to put in a engine from Toyota or similar instead of this crap. I've rebilt so...

Ok, now the cylinder head is off. Cylinder liner # 3 and 4 is too low in the block. On the front side (exhaust), they are above the block surface and on the rear (intake) side they are below the surface. Not mutch, but noticeable. So I believe it's just to rip out the engine and put on a...

I'll be back with info. Does anybody know the answer on this? It it correct that if the pressure in the coolant system is too high (like from a HGF), the thermostat refuses to open?

How can that explain CO in the coolant? I would love to have another solution that ripping off the cylinder head...

I can promise it's bled. And bled again and again and... It's my 6th. 18K4 engine that I have rebuilt... Did a combustion CO##₂ in coolant test, and after a loong time and the engine running at relatively high rev. temperature rising towards 80°C on the hawkeye, I finally managed the...

I'm experiensing blow-outs from the cooler tank. I'm monitoring the coolant temp with Hawkeye and I have also a water temperature gauge on the lower radiator hose, just ahead of the In-line Thermostat to monitor when the thermostat opens. The monitored engine temp rises to 103°C and drops...

It dies not show on the pictures, but the wires from the ABS are special. They all are white with black stripe. Look at the other side of the multi plug, and you'll find them I guess.
