Thanks a lot. Is that procedure the same for pretty much every engine then. With tdc compression for no 1only being "created" once it's actually timed?

So as long as no 1 is at tdc, and the sprockets are lined up and the belt is on its fine? Or once it's on do you have to check further... just finding it a but confusing

How exactly would you determine if no1 piston is at tdc on its compression stroke if the timing belt was off, if you just had it at tdc and set the belt up wouldn't the timing potentially be 180 degrees out? Thanks

While pressing in the bronze bush with a 20 tonne press the bush still protrudes around 2-3mm out of the axle. Is this normal or must it be perfectly on the shoulder of the axle. The press can't put it in any further. Thanks

How much would you add to a nearly full tank?

While having an engine change I found out that one of the fuel pump ports had been left open and the pump had water in it, after cleaning it and eventually getting it started it lacks power and I dont feel that it revs up as well as the last engine. Its getting better with use but its only...

I can't find a non britpart swivel housing rebuild kit nor a wheel bearing kit that includes a lockwasher for a 1990 def 90. I only don't want to use britpart due to what I've heard of it. Does anyone know where I can find them ? Also is it worth doing the stub axle seal and bearing as well. Thanks

I want to prepare a new stub axle before removing the old one, does the tapered end of the bronze bush go in facing the stub axle or facing the swivel housing? Thanks

Oh ok got you, thanks

Ok thanks, was there a bottom bush for the swivel ball as its not shown in that kit?

Would a 1990 def 90 only have a top swivel bush with no bush or race where the bottom pin would sit. I can't find a rebuild kit that includes a bottom pin, bush and bearing. Thanks

What exactly do I have to do to remove a 12j engine and can it be accomplished by one person and an engine hoist? Is it hard realigning splines? Thanks

Is anyone aware of what compression figures I should get? Thread sizes for glow plugs and injectors would be helpful too thanks.

Does anyone on here know anywhere in the Berkshire area that rents or sells garages large enough to accommodate a 90?

Does land rover or anyone else provide a service where you can type in your engines serial no and see when it was made, what vehicle it originally belonged to etc.

I hope mines got a cross drilled gear now! Interesting to see it can potentially do 252k... Anyone aware if input gears on the transfer get the same problem if no cross drilling was done?

Just curious as to how long I should expect mine to last. Its done 166000 miles, its never been rebuilt. 2nd gear a tad stiff but double clutching sorts it and it goes in like butter. How common are worn input shaft splines and 5th gear bearings. Thanks

What would be considered a reasonable price to rebore a block and skim a head from a decent machinist? If crankshaft or camshaft also had to ground as well how much would a total be? When I get round to it I don't want to be unprepared. Anyone also got a rough idea how much a 12j block and a...

Bit of closure. Finally found out what was making the sound. Turned out it was the brake pedal, pressing it really sets the sound off, just coincided with doing the tappets. Have to have a look at that now...

Ok thanks
