my friend has owned an engine rebuilding shop for 50 years ... He will NOT rebuild a Range Rover engine because they are complete JUNK and he doesn't want an unhappy customer because he cannot guarantee the rebuild will last !

Hi, 4 year L322 2011 Ranger Rover HSE owner here. Mine is almost identical to yours. In my first year of ownership, as the fourth owner with 88k miles, I had to replace the engine with a used one for $10k parts and labour; blown head gasket. The problem with these gorgeous depreciating vehicles--buyers love them because they're cheap, but no one honours the cost of ownership. I change my oil every 4k miles and baby it. 147k miles on the clock now. It has a timeless look and is terrific for snow and long trips. I wish you the best and I subscribed.

🤩 Loved your content, lots of work involved. Seeing you fixing this legend is going to be exciting, maybe you can tear down this engine and show us from inside if need arises it will be fun to watch that. Complete tear down of this v8 will go with tons of work and many parts replacements.

Valve's hitting pistons has a much different noise. It'll sound like coins being crushed in the engine and it's every valve on whatever cam is being out of time so it's VERY noisy. Jumped timing enough to cause all my valves in my engine to kiss then hit and bend them all once timing jumped even more. Definitely sounds more like it's the timing chain slapping around.

Not body off on these, only on the L320/L319 Sport and LR3/LR4. Engine comes out the top, or front subframe can be dropped. Easier through the top. That noise sounds like the chain slapping the block. Stick your teshlong down the oil cap and look for chain machined aluminium. Also look for slack in the chain at the oil cap. There should be absolutely none, barely moveable.

If the timing were out, it would be out all the time - not just after it had warmed up! Just replace the timing chain tensioner guides. Job done!

As good as it sounds (before the knock)--- I think you would be fine to just do the timing belt change and run it. It might burn a little oil--- but at least there's no hole in the piston. I think it's worth the gamble--- as long as you don't have a dead cylinder on your compression check.

@@WaldosWorld yeah.. Even if you have bad compression on one cylinder, but there's no hole in the piston or valves-- maybe worse case scenario -- you might need to pull the heads and put on new head gaskets if they have gone bad too. Which isn't that much more work once you already have the front all torn apart. --- so that will be a decision that you'll want to think about while you're there. But if compression is good on all cylinders-- I think a new timing chain and water pump would squeeze another 100k miles out of it easy... You might need a new starter and alternator along the way, ect.. But that's to be expected. If the air rids fail completely, you can convert them to regular shocks for fairly reasonable price, compared to fixing the air rides. So there's still options there. Nice find!

with the gas they have today, it has ethanol which basically absorbs the water and pulls it up into the fuel eventually causing phase separation which would cause the fuel to look like brine. so the days of fuel floating on water unless its diesel are pretty much over. the only exception to this would be recreational fuel which has no ethanol or if water was just introduced to the gas recently.

By the time a valve hits a piston you would have correlation codes or misfires or even backfiring out the intake etc and it would barely run if at all, I bet its a broken chain guide causing the chain to be loose and its just slapping around in there a bit. The indentation on the piston has alot of carbon buildup on it meaning its likely not recent. The scoring will likely cause oil consumption and that's usually a worn piston skirt or piston skirt defect and will have a rattle noise when cold known as piston slap.

The knock may be from the supercharger coupling inside the nose cone if its the supercharger 5.0, those are misdiagnosed as engine knocks sometimes. Another weak point is the timing chains you can check them by removing the oil cap and pulling the chain a little to check for tension

Waldo, I have the absolute perfect solution for you if you decide the engine has seen it's better days .LS swap it , then you have a sweet vehicle and some reliability to go along with it. Because let's be real here , those engines were not known for reliability so that's still a factor if you do manage to fix it , the wealth of common issues still will plaque you. You can make some pretty serious horsepower on a bone stock lc9 block and be completely reliable. It maybe be more common of a conversion than you think, I believe painless wiring makes a plug and play harness. I would seriously consider that option or look into it a little with the wealth of info about it .

Great production: music, commentary, camera angles. Well done.

Had a similar issue with an interference engine when the timing belt was changed, but was off slightly and caused slight damage.
