Jimse7 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just bought vehicle, no compression on number 2, discovered intake lifter will not bleed down holding valve open, anyone know how to fix without pulling intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I didn't realise they fitted 4.6's to Disco 2's ho hum the 4.0 is basically identical anyway. The Rover V8 is a simple beastie and pretty robust. If you've really got a stuck lifter, running engine oil flush through might clear it but otherwise I'll be inlet manifold off, which isn't particularly difficult. Just make sure you get a composite valley gasket (not a shiny tin one) & new rubber ends when re-fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I *think* they got the 4.6 in the D2 in the 'states, we had to make do with the 4.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did and they also got the Gems injected v8 in D1's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
