Thanks for the opinion about the oil pump/contaminated oil. That is my diagnosis as well. The oil was new 2000kms ago, but then it was subjected to the blown head gasket and one serious overheating. AND then the oil was contaminated with water... I agree that the oil was very lacking in...

my block is not cracked. it has been checked twice by two different machine shops. As to the suggestion about sourcing a local engine...it costs US$8000 for a used worn-out 300tdi (maxion) engine...then there is the cost of getting that second engine overhauled and ready..

I have a 2.5TD (19J) and because the LR is in Argentina where 200tdi do not exist and worn out 300tdi's cost US$8000, i decided to recondition the engine in Buenos Aires this past August-October; i drove out of the garage on November first. Pistons, rings, gaskets, and main bearings were all...

I thought you all would enjoy an update on my 'wonderful' 19J. After deciding to recondition the engine in Buenos Aires this past August-October, i drove out of the garage on November first. I made it 600kms before my new head gasket was blown out and my coolant had all been pushed out the...

Yes i thought it might be an injector as well, so i installed 4 new injectors...no change in the symptoms. Tried to adjust the timing on the pump...no change. the only thing that made a difference was installing a thicker head gasket. I also spoke with the machine shop that bored out my...

I have no problems with valves hitting pistons. I have measured my piston protrusions and my valve recesses - they are comfortably within the parameters. As for how to set the valve or tappet gaps, yes we are doing it the rule of 9 and yes the push rods are seated. All the easy things have...

I would also like to add that we are having trouble right now getting the valves to balance. we have been working at balancing them for 3 days!! we balance, then turn the mainshaft few revolutions and then some of the valves are loose. it is a never ending story. we are balancing it with the...

Thank you for the idea about the oil pressure relief value stuck open. I will check that now. As for the condition of the turbo, there is no damage to the blades or the housing. I can move the shaft a little in and out and a little up and down (perpendicular) to the housing. There is an...

It is not cost effective to replace my engine with a 200tdi. First there are no 200tdi in south america, it was never sold here. Second the price of an old worn out one is US$10000. Third, it is impossible to import a motor from the UK as the customs duties here are 100% of the value. Fourth, i...

I need some good advice. Here is the situation: I have a 2.5TD (19J) engine that was recently overhauled and bored to oversize 40. The injection pump was replaced. The turbo was replaced, but with a 300tdi turbo and custom fitted oil lubrication hoses/pipes. After only 2500km the turbo is...

Well, it looks like there is no solution to determining what CV joint in advance for my Defender. It turns out that during the manufacturing, Land Rover would install whatever axle they had in inventory with absolutely no rational between whether it was a 23 or a 33 spline CV joint. Amazing. So...

I want to buy a spare CV joint for my 1989 Defender 110, but there are two kinds of CV joints available; a 23 spline and a 32 spline. Without physically examining the old CV joints, how can i determine which ones i need? I am 10,000kms away from the vehicle, so looking at the old ones is...

Hope you figure this out. I want to know how to put a oil pressure gauge on my 19J as well. Tell us when you figure it out please!

wrong subcategory to post your question in. This is for 19J engines, which were built only until 1990. delete your post

Actually the Landy is not in the UK. It is located in rural Argentina. So whatever work needs to be done, i need to do it myself. I am interested what sort of immobilizers people have rigged up. Like a fuel cut off hidden switch or something.

I am taking my Landy on expedition and would like to add some security to it. Does anyone have any advice on some sort of basic immobilizer i could install? Some kind of fuel cut off? Has anyone done something like this? Are there aftermarket kits? My landy is a 1989 Defender 119 2.5TD.

I've got a 1989 Defender 110 2.5TD and am hoping that someone can tell me what sort of axles i have. I would like to buy a ARB diff locker, but i have no idea if i have a 10 or 24 spline shaft or if it is a Salisbury axle. I looked in my Haynes manual, but nothing there. Could someone please...

change the maps on the garmin to topographic maps or whatever third party maps you want. There are thousands of third party maps avalible, sadly almost all are for the Garmin. TomTom is a poor cousin
