    Ball Hone size selection - 300tdi

    Greetings, Has anyone ever used a ball hone tool to hone a 300tdi cylinder block prior to installation of new piston rings? I understand the tools themselves are sold oversized so I should purchase for the bore size. Would a 3.5" diameter ball hone be adequate? Or would a 3.75" be better...

    Your thoughts on Halfshaft/Drive members

    Greetings, What are your thoughts on the supposed 'upgraded' rear halfshafts which are combined with the drive members as one unit? See attached image. I believe LR did these as standard on some newer models. Is this a worthy investment or am I better off with the separate halfshafts and drive...

    300tdi- Blow-By or Faulty Vacuum/Brake servo?

    Greetings, Can someone explain to me the link that exists between the vacuum pump/brake servo and crankcase pressure? In other words, is it possible to have symptoms of "blow-by" due to a faulty vacuum system? Why I am thinking it is the vacuum system: 1. I took head off to replace head...

    Valve Stem caps

    Greetings, Are the 300tdi valve stem caps supposed to be easily removed and installed or are they supposed to have a tight fit? I find with the rocker shaft out, mine can easily slip off and on. Is this normal?

    LT230 PTO cover preload

    With the PTO cover on (silicone seal, not gasket) my intermediate gears are very hard to turn freely by hand with the sump cover off.

    Why so much oil??

    Greetings, 300tdi. After getting a consistant oil leak from the rocker cover I removed it to investigate and found what I deem to be an excessive amount of oil in the top of the cylinder head.
