new engine shot, part 2.

(1/8) > >>

Guardian.:
well the number 2 recon v8 has turned up at mates garage today, hope this one lasts more than 2 months.
its not the same as the last one though, its apparently a late 3.9serpentine type, heard of but not sure on the difference, i know there aint much.
hopefully my man will have the time to get it back in this week but he has a geezer away for 2 days so might be pushing it a bit.
will let all know when its in and purring away again!

Range Rover Blues:
AFAIK the serpentine engine had a few small differneces, mostly at the front end.  The differences are in the front cover mainly, the oil pump was crank driven, the water pump moved to the centre, that kind of stuff.

I thiknk there was a camshaft locating plate rather than it running on the inside of the front cover :-k or something like that.

But they are interchangeable with earlier types ie a serpentin long engine will still build up into a pre-serpentine. That's what my 4.6 is.

Guardian.:
WELL OUR GARAGE HAS HAD A MAN ON HER ALL DAY And shes back home and purring like a kitten, anyone in lincolnshire with landrover problems should see my mate at  discovery developments in pinchbeck, hes as good as you can get.
as for the engine, it sounds mint as it should and drives very smooth, i hope i have no problems with this one, as the engine supplier has used all his nine lives.
im actually after 2 months of nigly little things here and there, plus a big landrover problem, got a smile on my face.

robert francis:
im glad to here you've got it sorted, like you say hope this engines a gooden, fingers x

Range Rover Blues:
Any idea what was causing the grief with the 1st one though :-k
