Hi - new to the forum so still finding my way around, but not able to find the specifics I was looking for on this topic. Possibly being thick.
I'm a first time Land Rover owner, recently bought a 1987 ex-Singapore Army 110, 2.5 NA, only done 4k miles (although 1,100 running hours on a clock in the engine bay). Everything leaks. Body and chassis pretty much A1. Right now I have the engine, LT77 and LT230 out and in various stages of strip down.
I have the engine down to the iron block, I (think) I count 5 core plugs to waterways and 1 to the rear of the cam at the back - I plan to replace all the plugs on the block except the camshaft one - oily plugs don't normally give problems in other classic engines I am more familiar with. Please holler if it's a water one, or if this one gives trouble.
The head however, looks much more complicated core plug wise than I am accustomed to! I count (I think!) 13 plugs of different shapes and sizes. So, with the same take on replacing only the water gallery ones, which ones do I need to replace?
I have picked up in other threads that it's best to fit only original Land Rover ones as other makes are not a tight enough fit, so that has been very useful info.
Cheers
Phill
