The V8 Owners Forum -

Some news: I found a short engine that a friend of mine wants to sell. It's a late 4.6 ("60D") that looks like new! It has only something like 30,000 miles... Eventually I can exchange it for a 4.2 (complete with heads and interim timing cover) that is in perfect conditions too. So, my alt...

any ideas? Hi Lorenzo, test the TPS, this is the procedure: To troubleshoot the Throttle Position Sensor, first disconnect system power and then disconnect the EFI Cable Harness from the ECU. Using an Ohmmeter, verify that resistance between terminals 3 and 25 is between 4000 and 6000 Ohms. Next, r...

It's not all... One or two liners are ovalized. Probably the re-boring work done to this engine from the previous owner was rubbish and the heads were been tighten to wrong torque values. This is the good time to convert this block to a coffee table... I found a person that would buy the crankshaft,...

The mechanic said that he would risk, leaving the block as it is, but I would loose the warranty. Awful idea I think

I have finally received the verdict: the engine is cracked between two liners :? The engine seems to already have top hat liners! The rest of the engine is in good condition. Now I have no idea to what to do with this 4.6 Some pics: http://i62.tinypic.com/2qte1si.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/spays3.jp...

Sorry to be a party pooper but I think it would only bring tears. An intervention like yours is exactly what I hope to get in a forum, a good advice by those who have a lot more experience than me :wink: I will continue on my way to rebuild and use the 4.6 that I already have, I think that is the b...

Yes, I didn't see that it is an auction with a reserve to meet. I'm waiting for the reply of the seller, to know if he can give me any type of warranty

I couldn't rebuild it myself because I don't have all the tools required, for example it would be impossible for me to fit new liners in the block. What I can do is asking a quote for the rebuilding in Italy, but buying all the spares from UK at a much cheaper price. However, while I am waiting for ...

Yes, the quote for stripping the block and testing it is 200 pounds, so I will proceed with it. If I have a confirmation of the good condition of the block, I can get a quote to reassembly the engine with new main bearings, cam and timing chain. I think that the major cost for a rebuilding here in I...

Thank you all for your replies. Shipping a pallet from Italy to England and than the inverse would cost me about 300 £. But, probably, if my block is healthy, the total amount would still be cheaper than rebuilding the engine here (for stripping, overhaul and reassembly I received quotes that exceed...

Ok, I thought that my budget was too low for a rebuilt + modifications, but you are conferming that a complete stripping is necessary. But actually I made a mistake with the conversion of units. The 4.6 has 130 000 km, that are 80 000 miles. However, I would have the other opportunity of use the 4.6...

Yes, top hat liners are very expensive (and the pressure test too, because it would force me to strip the whole engine). So I would prefer to avoid it. The main use will be speed events, no towing, so I don't need lots of low torque. Now I have an autobox, that is extremely useful in most cases, but...

Hello, I got a lot of doubts about my project. I have a Land Rover 110 with an old 3.9 (the only modification is a Megajolt kit) and I want to fit a new engine. Here in Italy, I bought a used 4.6 from a 2002 Range P38. It is in good condition and has no more than 100,000 miles; I thought to fit it i...

maximotorsport, have pm

I'm looking for a new exhaust for my 110 3.9.
Has anyone tried the stainless steel system produced by Famous Four?

It's less expensive than Rimmer's one and comes complete with everything to be fitted
