Thomas the Tank Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 So I’m under the hood fixing a coolant leak as one does… noticed it was making a strange clacking sound at idle. Look over and see several of the safety wired bolts dancing around loose. I’ve only had a LR for about 8 months so I’m still spooling up on the tech. are these something I can just snug up and re wire? also, it’s a new to me vehicle so I suppose I should check the valves at the same time? nothing strange in the oil BTW. thanks! alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wytze Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Do you mean the bolts for the rocker assembley? Then i would say, yes, with a but. Do a valve clearance check, aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 TTT is asking about the cam follower locator bolts along the block just below the head joint. Put new copper washers on and torque up and wire should be fine. Checking the valve clearance is also a good idea on a new to you Series.

While I’m in there I’ll give everything a good look. Road trip for fishing this weekend. I believe the coolant leak is resolved as well. While I waited for response, I also had time to track down fuel gauge issues. It’s all about the clean ground connections:) have a good one and safe driving!
