Thanks! I still need to get everything measured up, and with the cost of reliable tooling to do so myself I’m thinking I’ll still need a machinist, so I appreciate this info.

After reading some positive things about the split turner shells, I’m thinking I’ll give them a punt as glyco seem NLA, at present at least. I assume difficulty fitting them comes from a need to compress (but not too much) while pressing them in? I’m trying to conceptualise a solution for that...

This is valuable info, thank you! Those Glyco N165/4 bearings seem to be the way to go, but also seem to now be unobtanium (unless my google-fu is just failing me). I don’t suppose you have a link to where you sourced them? Apologies for the delayed response - was enjoying a long weekend with...

Hi all, I’m down to the block on a 200tdi rebuild project to go into my 88” series 3. I’ve sourced a replacement crank after discovering a very, very spun bearing pretty much demolished my previous, beyond the point of bothering to get it ground. I’ve also discovered some wear on the cam...

I return today with a less enthusiastic update - see the image… It’s not salvageable, so time to find a replacement!

True! 😅 but on the flip side, who needs hard drugs when you can instead hear your rebuild fire up for the first time?

Thanks! New reply so new update, injector pump is now off. I’m realising I’ll need the proper pulley for the crank gear, unless any secrets are known here? I’m going to bear block and building back up again from there, for context. This engine is (was) a complete unknown so I figured may as...

Hi! You join me as I’ve just this second locked the injector pump and removed the timing belt, pump and cam pulleys. Forgive the state of the shed, I’m making do!

Today was spent fighting the crank bolt on an engine stand - in the end, locked up the rear with a spanner lodged between two flywheel bolts and stand brackets, a cut down fence post bracing the engine against the stand leg to prevent putting force on the engine stand upright, and went out and...

Yessir 🫡 Head and sump/ladder frame are already off, looking good so far but we’ll see how it all cleans up!

Some images of our mechanical family member and the 200tdi to be transplanted. No prizes for guessing my surname - the pun is stolen from Quick Pee!

Hi all! I (think?) I qualify still as a young’un around here at age 26, but when I first got hold of my SWB Series 3 at 18, I definitely did. Landies, particularly series vehicles, are in my blood. My parents met god knows how long ago when they were part of a search & rescue team, and had...

sorry! thought this one didn’t go through, please delete/ignore!
