did it cross your mind the sender unit is giving the wrong reading, and you tank is full, not sure of how much the petrol tanks hold , i run a diesel and the tank holds approx 10gallon, i assume its the same with petrol, only way to check is remove the sender unit and dip the tank, but please do...

silly question coming up, are you sure its oil temp not water temp ive been around engines all my life and never coma across oil tempreture. i could be wrong,

head gaskets dont need sealant unless you have a fault and then it would only be a tempory job as it would not last due to the presure from the pistons , i always use a smearing of oil, 1 on the block and 1 on the head, this then bakes hard making an air tight seal, using gasket sealant will...

rocker gasket leaking for sure. or cork seal as you name it.

i would be interested with your method of de rusting if you can spare the time private email me if you can, and good luck with the rebuild, the time spent now will reward you with the time spent admiring your hard work when its finished,

also new valve guides job done. no worries

what i did was a complete overhall of the head, i put in new valves.new valve seals, new exspansion plugs or core plugs whatever you want to call them, i reground the valve seats and replaced the injectors with recon injectors total cost approx £40.00.

most likely cause are the valve seals after time the seals go hard allowing oil to pass thru i had this on my series111 once the head was referbed oil and smoke cured.

leave the stripping down and repairs to an expert its not a job for a novice, if its losing that much fuel you should be able to see where its coming from. also if you put your location on the thread some one could be close by who could look at it for you and even help you by recomending some...

landrover series3 swb, 88inch 5 bearing crank

width of landy 64 inches, thats the body, if you have got standard wheels it will sit on there tidy, if its got wide wheels providing the trailer hasnt got side boards it will still fit but you would have a slight overhang onn either side, and providing the trailer is very sturdy you wont have...

for the swivels you can buy canvas coated with pvc shrouds which completely enclose the swivels.

the inner wire is as old as the landy, and no doubt at some time in its life as been subject to every sort of weather being thrown at it and the sure way to rectify is remove it from the vehicle and soak it in oil and at the same time slide the outer cable up and down whilst holding the inner...

theyb can but why only do half a job, also if you drop a bollock/ make a mistake ie have the piston down instead of up when doing the seal you end up stripping the head off anyway, and if you havnt got the gasket because you have cut corners ie by doing it with the head on you then have to chase...

when you say you put a oil presure gauge on it was that the type you screw into the block, also going by the presure readings you have given they would fluctuate by the difference of tickover and travelling with high revs, i would go down the road of changing the oil presure switch first as the...

spray the stop cable ect with wd40. and if you buy an head gasket set you get new rocker gasket aswell.

valve seals are easy enought to do, the proper way to do them is remove the head, that way then you can regrind the valves in when you change the seals, it can be done with the head on but why only do half a job, and you need a valve compressing tool to remove the valves or make your own.

the thing that puzzles me is if the fuel filter didnt have fuel in it, how does that affect your distributor it sounds like you now have some issue with the fuel side of it, or the problem is the fuel system all along, the fuel system is independant to the ignition.

is the breather blocked as this will cause the box to presurize, but where it is i havent a clue,but i do know that it doesnt take a lot to block them

true but if i said it smells like fish you would soon know with out been told where to smell.
