Plenty of others around too, and remind us “hey don’t forget THAT” or “that you don’t have to do yet”. Great respect for being able to do this big job in your own! I hope we’re all beginning to realize the engineer’s thoughts: “everything is real easy to do on this engine, you just need to take off the body!”

    I'm afraid I agree with Vera, this could not be more exciting! Subscribed within the first few minutes of viewing. I am humbled by the enthusiasm for Land Rovers around the globe, whereas in the UK the brand is soon to quietly fade away, like a chastened dog, tail between its legs. Thanks to a pair of charming Germans keeping the spirit alive... I'd like to think Britain never really left Europe, we're just on a break.

    You have both done great with your first body off project. It seemed relatively painless - either plenty of editing or it really was relatively painless. A bummer about the oil pan, but you did come up with a solution. I am looking forward to what you do about rotating the engine. The other option if you can't rotate it is to take the heads off to see if there is something obvious, followed by the sump to view the crank & rods if you still can't turn it with the heads off. I know that would be a bugger, though they most likely have to come off anyway no matter what you find if it is an internal engine problem. I can't wait till part 2 of this series.
