howdy all, Im removing the two oil gallery plugs situated behind the timing cover (jet washing block this weekend, attached image shows plugs still in place) They were dot punched into place - question, do I need to put threadlock on them when reinstalling to prevent oil leaking up the...

good luck and take some pics for us a;; :)

3M contact adhesive stuck mine well

donor engine I purchased has the usual cracks between valves and one crack between glow plug and injector, I've been told by a few well known head specialists that this is fairly normal for 200 heads. anyone had the same and just had a pressure test and skim before refitting? think I've got...

cheers chaps, gave her a foam soaking then blast followed by jizer and blast, got most of it off so clean enough to strip now, kept gun away from crank and dried it quickly with compressed air after washing followed by covering with wd40.

finally got 200tdi on engine stand ready to pressure wash, question- I won't squirt directly on crank but I can't protect it from water ingress with flywheel housing removed. will it hurt or should I put it back on engine crane and attach flywheel housing before washing?

surprisingly heavy when balanced on your knees while you are on your back Dom...prepare to do a lot of swearing :)

what a heart warming clip

thanks chief-I'll check....I'm guessing if it's there I can buy a suitable spout/nipple to tap into the blanking plate-well that's plan A anyway :)

didn't notice one James, I had it out last month to fit my galvanised sill protectors and didn't notice it then. mind you I've seen several references to this blank now so will have a close look thanks.

converting my 2.25 petrol to a disco 200DI soon chaps. my current tank has no facility for a spill return connection. instead of tapping the tank, I was thinking of Tee'ing it into the fuel fill vapour/breather line on back of tank.... Thoughts?

thanks chaps, will get some pics up when I get it

I can measure my existing mounts I guess as they will be same (2.25 petrol) but what about height from mount to bottom of sump please anyone? 12" enough?

Hi all, Will be picking a 200tdi discovery engine up next weekend in a trailer. I have a couple of pallets ready to make up a jig to transport it in as I don't want the 200KG lump sliding about all over the place on the sump pan. Anyone know the rough dimensions (width apart and height from...

hi all? picking up a 200tdi engine in a week or so to start conversion from my 2.25 petrol. for a few extra notes the seller has offered me the gearbox and tranny (disco 200tdi) I was gonna bolt engine straight to my series boxes, but will the disco boxes fit or would I need to adjust...

did you tighten shackles with a 142mm gap between axle and chassis?

if your leaf spring bushes are worn you will get axle movement which will cause it to wander. I changed my swivels, track rods and drag link and found my s3 was still wandering....changed bushes for polys and found originals were well shot-drives straighter than a tank now. steering box...
