That moment, after you've had an engine down to nuts and bolts, rebuilt it, turned it over, and IT FIRES! "IGOR IT'S ALIIIIVEEEE" Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing a window to your joy with us 👍. Can't wait to get my hands on a landrover santana 3.4l 6cyl diesel, get it back within tollerance, and leave it smartly painted and ticking away! Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for your kind comments :) that moment, or the anticipation of that moment can provide months or even years of motivation. We clearly share the same mental problems :)

Well done, deserves a lot more views 👍

Thanks buddy! :) I'm.so.pleased with this video and it was very little effort and no filming! :)

Im doing a 300TDI rebuild , probably going to cost about £1500 , but i did get all the alloy parts vapour blasted . New pistons , rebore , crank polished , cylinder head checked and new turbo cartridge and lots of other parts changed.

That sounds very good value. I might look into vapour blasting for my next engine project. Good for bare aluminium as I understand it?

Excellent video, well done!

Kevin I would love to. I love an engine rebuild but I am rather drawing in projects of my own for time being.

What an excellent video...well done, you! Regarding the parts cost...were the new pistons and other bits genuine Land Rover or did you go with BritPart or parts from Turner's, or...? Thanks so much! ~Pete

You're too kind, manh thanks for comment. I went with turner engineering. I didnt question where they got parts from to be honest. I was happy with their statement that the parts they sell are the parts they use in their engine rebuilds. I have found turner to be very good. One piston was slightly damaged in transit, they sent another one very quickly.

Going to convert it to a petrol AND use a crank and conrods for a 2.5 litre. Planning to use Turner’s for parts and perhaps rebuild the used 8:1 petrol head that I bought.
