Hello Sean thx for the comment I hope your rebuild goes well and the video's helped. cheers Nigel

Lovely dog. Interesting to see his (?) behaviour speeded up. You probably know this but just in case, anti-freeze is highly poisonous and dogs seem to like it - got to be really careful with any spillages. Thanks for the vid, hats off to you.

Hello!! I'm about to build a LR v8 3.9 engine!! And I have a question!! The brand of the pistons on the left side point forward and those on the right side point backward? (LR V8 3.9) thanks

Good video thanks for making the time to do them. I lost my dog at the beginning of the year and watching these reminded me how much I miss him, he used to do the same lie down in the garage and keep me company.

@@fixitnige is there a roller cam and lifters in newer version of this engine?? My experience most V-8's with roller cam and lifters last much longer here in the USA starting in mid 80's most our V-8's had to cause the Japan was making toyo that ran hundreds of thousands of miles , when American v-8's after 100000.0miles cam had no humps left and whacked so loud U knew the engine was trashed even with the best service!!

@@scottyjones27 This motor used to be the Buick 215 from the early 60s here in God Blessed USA. In the late 60s they gave up on aluminum engines and sold the rights to Rover group. To sumarize: First Rover copied the US military Jeep. Later, they bought the rights to a the Buick motor. Later still they Copied the Ford Bronco suspension for the RR and ultimately their own Range Rover into the Glorious Exalted Defender (*). Now it seems they're completely hooked on copying, but have lost their wonderful English taste for a better product, and copy crap (new Defender).

I'm not try to tell my granny how to suck eggs, but, why take the camshaft out before the crank shaft? If you take the crank out first, you have a lot of room to control the removal of the cam, without damage to the bearings. I've been building engines for 60 years, and always take out the crank first, and on reassembly, install the cam before the crank.

Good video. But the dog is wondering who your talking to

lol good idea but no she's called Jess.

Must biggest problem with this engines is quality of spare parts, very simple engine, but often spare parts quality like a shit equal all your work to zero :(

Dirty engine change filters and oil more often.
