V8, while its out
Devon-Rover:
Well it'll stop the exhaust manifold bolts coming loose 8-[ Something i did suffer with, plus looking shiny and nice.
The Magnecors would help in getting the spark to the plugs and in my case the platinum ones i had did help in a small way. (It's hard to say when on the other end is a Mallory and a High output coil as there is a huge spark energy there anyway) But it defiantly didn't like 5Es's then the 6Es's it is ok but the platinum was another small step.
Ohh and maybe a new set on engine mounts as they are free to get at! :)
garetharcher:
Core plugs - Dam site easier to get to when the engines out.
Highland_Defender:
All good, will change the exhaust too while im at it. Think i'll just have a nice straight through stainless system
fuzzy:
When I had mine in bits, I used the opportunity to replace all the fuel lines, brakes lines and do a rewire I know its not cheap and definately not quick but could save you a lot of time and effort in the future, its easier to run brake lines etc without the body in the way than try to do it scrabbling around on your back on a cold winters morning!!!! Trust me I have tried both :lol:
Range Rover Blues:
Timning chain and gears, worn valve train or camshaft results in high fuel consumption.
Check the big end shells for wear and replace now if any is evident, same for main bearings.
Rear crank oil seal, a ******* to do once it's in.
Clean and re=lap the valves, do a bit of gentle fettling in the heads and try matching the inlet ports.
New oil pump gears
