here you go mate

I had to buy it seperate when i purchased my cam but it was not the same make as yours. It looked black and thick like cv joint grease. I then used assembly lube on all other parts of the engine to ensure first start up was free from metal to metal contact. I cant recall if it was you or fett...

Now all finished. Just a question.. the cold start requires a exhaust feed to heat the bimetalic spring. Will you make a feed or convert to manual choke?

Hi Fett, Thought i would send you some photos of the carb for your motor. I picked up the rebuild kit today. Wise choice, accelerator pump seal looked on its way out. The rest did not look too bad. I might have to make one new link for you.

i have an early 110 with two part doors. it would be easy to use the door catch from the series. You will probably need a rivnut tool to make things work though. I will see if i can get a pick of mine for ya.

After one year I have fired the engine up for the first time. I was unable to run it for long as I still need to fit a new alternator to allow the water pump to turn. Things sound good though and it has oil pressure which is a good start. I have welded up a Power flow muffler and increased the...

As per Dr instructions I would replace it even if it is opening. For the low price of a new one

Buy a britpart made one. should be stetch to fit :D

I have a chain to match the Roll Master style. I bought by accident and didnt relise they are like a double bike chain rather than the odd Rover style one. If you watch a 4x4 is born it should give you an overview on setting up the timing with the adjustable pulleys.

I will see if i can get a kit from the v8 shop that i am planning to get my oil through. If you just wanting it rekitted i can do it for you. Some kits are good and include the jets etc.

My final order of engine parts are set to arrive so I can finish the engine over the next couple weeks. I built a new wiring loom for the engine as the old one was getting very stiff. I need to drill a broken stud out of the drivers side exhaust manifold and replace. I would like to think these...

Hey mate, would these be the holes your looking for on the carb

Hey Fett, here are the photos of your new carb? the hidden word is Bendix by the way. Looks like it has come off a jet boat if i was to gamble. You use to be able to by these motors brand new for jet boats. When I go to pick up oil for my motor i will see if they can give me a price on the...

Hey Fett Just talked to one of my old work mates that worked for leyland when these motors came out. He suggests when it comes time for fitting the heads and the inlet manifold you first need to fit the manifold and fully have it bolted down before the heads bolts finish being tightened. They...

Its been a long time since a post on here, so I thought an update was in order. I have been busy ticking away at the 110. I thought i would focus working on a section at a time, rather than doing bits here and there on it. So the vehicle has been split into two work sections (forward of the...

Is there any rear major differences between the s111 and 110/90 upper rear cab section? I notice the s11 and s111 have another plate that sits under the rear section to extend it passed the seat bulkhead. Is this required on the defender as they appear to look different depths? I guess bolt...

well done Johnny and what an amazing build. Just spent my Saturday morning reading through it.

At a wild guess based on a rover v8 they have a crankcase breather that goes onto the intake system which is similar. I would look around for a pipe of similar diameter. Being turbo it would more than likely go on the piping leading down to the turbo rather than after

I take it the radiator was checked for blockages and flushed?

You want to use something thick containing lots of zinc or some form of treatment to look after the cam and lifters. Castrol Magnatec great for modern engines but probably a little to harsh for older engines like the Rover. Such a shame as i have unlimited supply of it. See if you can find the...
