At the back of my engine there are two small pipes coming up from behind the engine. They appear to be routed back along the top of the transmission. The ends that I can see at the engine end are curved like the end of a walking stick. Anyone know what they are or what they should connect to...

I took out my centre console in order to work on the diff lock linkages, and now the vehicle won't start. I must have upset something, but what could cause this? I notice a louder than normal click when I step on the brake, and it sounds like it's coming from the automatic shifter leaver. Not...

Ok, here's the history, perhaps you all can help me diagnose... 1. The car had overheated before I got it, and it was in non running condition. No compression on one bank of cylinders. Other side not tested. Oil was way too full and when I took the drain plug out, loads of coolant was in there...

I rebuilt my engine and it's making a tapping sound. Does this sound like a slipped cylinder liner? YouTube- Slipped cylinder liner? Thanks, Roger

Hi, Thanks to all those who helped me figure out where everything goes. I'm done with the rebuild. Oil is flowing. coolant is full. I'm trying to start the engine, it's not firing at all. Just keeps turning over. I noticed that when I was cranking it there would be one spot every so often...

There are two pipes coming off of the radiator. Where do these go to? Thanks, Roger

Hello, I cranked my engine after a rebuild to see if the oil would prime. The fuel is not hooked up yet so it's not going to fire. But I cranked it for about 4-5 seconds and the oil light didn't go out. Did I crank it long enough? I packed the oil pump with petrolium jelly while I had it open...

Hiya, I'm almost done with the engine rebuild, and I'm kind of stuck. I have a few things I don't know where they go. Unfortunately I didn't see this engine together in one piece before I rebuilt it. So perhaps you all could help point me in the right direction here... What is this little T...

I can find plenty of info about how to route the plug leads, but I can't find anywhere where it shows how to run the wiring harness for the injectors and whatever else it plugs into. Anyone have a diagram or picture? Thanks, Roger

Looks like the intake manifold is designed to block two of the water ways in the engine. What's that about? And which way around does it go, am I supposed to fit it so that it blocks the rear water ways (furthest from the front of the vehicle - I didn't take this apart). Cheers, Roger...

I've got the timing cover off, and the oil pump out. I'm trying to replace the oil seal, but I can't get the old one out. Is there any trick to this? I've already destroyed the old one trying to force it out with a screwdriver, but it's just mega stuck in there. Thanks, Roge

Have I got the right idea with the timing marks on this?

When I bought my Discovery, it was already somewhat in pieces. So I was unable to answer the question that the machine shop man just asked me. He has skimmed the heads, he said they were very warped. He has re-bored and honed the cylinders. But he said the block was warped, also. He was going...

Hello, I recently bought a non running '95 discovery, v8 automatic for cheap. It had the engine partially disassembled, due to it having an overheating problem. So I took it out and stripped it down to the block. Two pistons had small chunks missing. I took the block to a machine shop, and they...
