No I get what you mean, the only difference being I have all the ancillaries ready to go I just need a diesel tank and fuel lines. mine has only got 3 three lpg tanks no petrol at all. So two torpedoes above rear wheel boxes and a donut where petrol tank should be. Which unfortunately are full...

Thanks for the reply, The engine it's self when it was running right was fine for my needs, I think mainly if I could get it running as it was before I stripped in I'd be happy. The cam was an after thought as I was lookin through the net for info on where to buy certain parts j noticed no end...

Thanks if anything I was looking at best option, I'd read no end of people putting 3.9 cams in over the 3.5 and so much conflicting info. I'm not looking for massive gains, the tubular manifolds and port matched heads have helped no end but it is a landy so not wanting or expecting high bhp and...

How would replacing worn bearings, cam and lifters and all the gaskets and rings undo the driveability? Currently the cam is worn badly with worn lifters, one of which is no longer working as it should? The crank is fine and no damage or scoring, the bores are fine with no damage or scoring, the...

So I've gotta rebuild the 3.5 and I've been reading so much about cams that I've started dreaming of them, literally the missus sighed when I said camshaft earlier today.... So I've seen loads of rebuild kits etc etc but i sent an email to a well known company and asked about cams etc for...

Overheating is an issue if you don't have the right stat fitted and your rad and water pump isn't in good Condition. I have an electric fan fitted on mine so I don't have these issues like I used to. As for revving at the lights it's not my bag tbh, offroad ability is amazing though, and towing...

Dunno about pragmatist, maybe just a realist lol. You have me seriously wondering what to do now. Ive done trips upto Scotland and got quite good mileage, I mean Dumfries to junction 23 @ Haydock on the m6 it only took 20 quid to fill back up. So forty litres to do a heck of a lot of miles...

This is the dilemma I'm facing, My v8 original fitment in my 110 csw has become noisy and tapping, on taking the inlet off and removing the valley gasket the cams worn, lifters are worn and I'm gonna check the crank today as soon as the black clouds have vanished. I have the option of a 300 or...

Hi bud, I haven't had a chance to work on it yet but will be doing today, il try and get a proper pic maybe start a thread as I've decided to rebuild as there is no sideways movement. 222000 miles on the clock I suppose it was bound to happen at somepoint. The castings seem rubbish to be...

:)

Cheers for the replies chaps, will get some better pics today and see how bad the damage is, also il check for slap on the lifters. Luckily we have some deburring dies (dad's a sheetmetal worker, welder fabricator) and ex mechanic. Unfortunately the hours he's working lately I've not been able...

Pics aren't great sorry, il get better ones tommorow morn. Im annoyed it's happened tbh, I've always serviced regularly and had heads skimmed and gaskets 2 years ago, timing chain sprockets etc done less than 5000 miles ago. I rang RPI just to see what they thought but tbh he just tried to...

Hi all OK so the 3.5v8 had a tappity noise so I figured OK il investigate and look to replace the lifters and the cam as they're about due tbf. Now I took the rocker covers off and ran the engine in an attempt to hear where this noise was from. It appeared to be the drivers bank and wasn't...

Sorry I realised there was a V8 section so have reposted it there, could someone delete this for me. Sorry for posting in the wrong area. Thanks
