Hi western, it was the original military chassis which was in excellent condition so had it sand blasted and then galvanized, then powder coated, so has original vin numbers, the original vin plates are 3"×2" and other one is 5"×2" so seem to large to go on the dash?, dd

hi all, i have received my documents for my rebuild, logbook with new registration number, its mot and insured now, i was wondering where do i put the vin plates, i think one goes on the slam panel but where do i put the other one, i will probably be putting it back up for sale now, i've attached some old photos still in the same condition but it got brand wolf wheels on, dd

Its a rrc 3.5 v8, auto, its says suffix B, on the block, but have 14 cylinder head bolt? Which I think came later, just watch video on the tube, and noticed the notch in the bearing should be on the same side of the conrod, will have to check, or is it something else, dd
-
hi, am I right in thinking con rod nuts torque is 50nm, because I have fitted new standard bearing shells well lubed as are the conrods and guornels, when I torque them up I can't turn the crankshaft, all pistons have gone back in the same order, but the conrod caps got mixed up, is there a certain way for them to go, dd

Hi all, need part number for rrc 1988 efi v8 auto, I say 88 but it was first registered 31/12/88, according to logbook,dd

OK thks, how do I disconnect this, it keeps leaking,dd

hi all, looking at the photo, should there be a seal of some sort on this, rrc efi v8 3.5, 1988, dd
-
Just gone to truck and this keeps seeping, how do I disconnect it without damaging it

Waiting for crankshaft and con rod bearing, cam shaft came minus the end bolt, but luckily for me, the seat belt anchor bolts from a discovery 1, are the same thread which I had a few spare, dd

Don't know if i should put this here or start a new post, Cleaning engine today and come across the engine number, I presume this means its a suffix B engine, where I read somewhere they were only used for about 10 months before changing to suffix C, whats the other number for, dd
-
Hone?, you mean clean, rub down, with buffer in the drill, blocks on bench upside down atm can't pull pistons through, mates got me engine stand tied up at his,dd

Managed to turn engine on my workmate bench with engine crane, took few shells off for photos then replaced, I think they look OK, brown stains are just oil, dd
-
Everything on order, full engine gasket set, lifters,camshaft,chain with new cogs,manifold studs good idea will sort, waiting on engine stand to come back, so I can turn it and check bottom end, how do you get the dipstick tube out the block could turn it with out stand if I could get that out, dd

The faces are flat, it was in a barn when I bought it, last mot was 2008, tbh I'm enjoying the build and gaining good knowledge from you people which is a great help,dd

More problems, lifters shot all of them in similar state,if I put this 3.9 camshaft in is there anything else I have to do, like bearings etc, or do I just slide it in, going to order one when I order lifters, dd
-
I'll get searching then thks, dd
-
Can I buy these items as a kit, would the 3.9 be ok as mine is 3.5, I would probably need step by step procedure not use to petrol engines, how do I download rave, dd
-
Hi, is this chain had its day, if so which one is best to replace it, camshaft is fine so don't want to replace that,tried to send a video but it was to big, dd
