Diesel inside timing case? From where?

ciderman · Jul 14, 2020

Hallo.
after being left overnight I was curious to see diesel over the floor and on the inside of the timing belt case.
it was dry yesterday- from the pooling it can only entered from behind the camshaft sprocket.
Is this likely? it had not happened in the last week or so that we had cover off- Why now? is it painful

cost wise?

That looks like your fuel pump has sprung a leak in the seal behind the pulley.
There are a few good videos on youtube , britanicca restorations did one I believe.

Many thanks- this sounds like a very worn engine that i have bought.

Doom and Gloom- the short lived joy at removing the crank sprocket with a home made puller has evaporated...

Seal is easy enough to change , timing it again properly is where you need to make sure you get it right. Should not be an expensive job to d

r if you get a reputable known diesel guy to fix it for you should ne be too bad, but make sure they know what they are doing ref the retiming of it.
Just ask @border

Wot he said above ^^^^ .

Seal kit is available on the bay, as is the DTI you'll need to re-time the pump

Basically all it needs is a new seal on front of FIP. here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/diesel-leak-from-timing-case.360073/page-8#post-4895414
but thats not as simple as it sounds , well it is if you get the right bloke to do it for you,
Just make sure he puts pulley back on Exactly ow he took it off then shouldn't be a problem.

Fit new belt too.

DTI kit easy enough to use, loads of vids on youtube.
I cannot remember if it is the disco or def 200 you need a 90 degree adaptor for the dti to use it on the engine, as space is at a premium.

I think it is the shogun that used to suffer badly from this, there was a guy local who used to do them mobile, maybe someone near you who does the same?

I think it is the seal where the DIP fits to the case.

I have bought the diesel timing kit from ebay - now i am staring at it.....

There is no diesel seal where the FIP firs into the timing case. The seal is on the main FIP shaft to the FIP body.
