hi guys, i have a 1995 4.0l v8 range rover and in serch of a new engine or bottom end, i believe that makes it a gems engine?? now trying to widen my serch is the 4.6 the same bottom end?? and the later type which i think is the thor?? would that go into my range rover or are they not compatible:confused:
 
4.0 and 4.6 same block, thor engine is same but for the crank senser..
thanx mate is it a pain to sort out? still calling that guy on monday just covering all options cos if the engines hes got do come out at a grand its a bit out of my price range at tho mo and im lost without a car :mad:
 
iwill keep eye out for any going, took me 4 months to find mine..
cheers mate, with the later engines and the crank sensor problem is it just a matter of changing the plate where the sensor fits or something is it much of a problem to do this its just most of the engines ive looked at are from a later car seem to be much easier to get hold of than the earlier gems engine..
 
senser just knocks out, the problem i found was finding one that had been tested. the last thing you need is getting one in thats as bad as the one you have..

yeah i know dont wanna end up with the same problem most ive found are from 4x4 breakers so if i was to go down that route id ask them to warranty it against a slipped liners and porous if they will, so is the sensor just a matter of swopping it for the old one, no need to change the housing and stuff is that the disco engine im thinking about?
 
i not sure of the disco engine going in, may need to change sump and oil pick up pipe. but i not sure, are you going to do it yourself?

yes will be doing it all myself not really wanting to put a disco engine in as like you said think theres alot to change but its always an option. just wanted to know if i swop from gems to thor do i just slot the gems crank sensor strait onto the thor engine or do you have to change the housing the sensor fits into, as i think thats what you have to do with the disco engine and think its a bit of a pain from bits ive tryed to read about it, sorry think i worded it wrong in my last message.
 
i just knocked mine out and put thor one in. i got a gems engine and changed it to thor.no reason to think you cant do same other way round..
 
irish wash your month out haha. i pihed last night, should have said you will also need to change the front of a thor to fit it in a gems..
