Our D1 needing rebuilding due to her knocking and jerking ride. After her rebuild her knocking and jerking continued. And I don't know why. The rebuild included the following new items: new timing chain & gears gear drive new dizzy lifters con rod bearings new main bearings rings complete...

She's knocking and it sounds as if it is coming from the Sump area. I rebuilt her with: New rings New timing chain and gears Main and rod bearings New flowmaster and back exhaust All her lifters looked good. Anyone any idea why she might be knocking? Happens after she warms up only. If oil...

Having trouble torquing down the connecting rods after installing rod bearings. After torquing down pistons 1 & 2, I'm finding the crank impossible to spin, which is required to torque the other rods down. I've broken 2 breaker bars attempting its rotation. Once both con rod pistons are...

Having trouble removing the top main bearings. Crank in place and caps have been removed. Spinning the crank doesn't move them at all. I've been able to push with a stiff plastic the bearing bout a 1/4" but no further. Has anyone tried heating theirs? Or have a suggestion? Thanks.

Hello. Engine completely rebuilt and runs well except when on the road. She is shaking like she's missing, but she isn't missing. I think that it's her clutch. Suspect that I may have nickered the clutch somehow and my knowledge surrounding clutches is at best shaky as well. Anyone familiar...

As some may have read, the head came back from the shop with its valve springs upside down. After repairing and installing she continues to "miss." Compression values are: 145, 90, 115, 120, 140, 130, 130, & 125. Wet testing the 90 value jumped to 110. Gonna install new rings at the 90, 115...

Got the head back from the machine shop and suspect they may have got it wrong. The valve springs have been installed nonuniform. Some have the tight end of the spring up and others down - THAT CANT BE RIGHT? I'm in my 60's but seem to recall that the tight part of the valve spring should...

A 1990 RR has joined our LWB & D1 family. Having trouble removing its fuel pump as it is not the same design as the LWB or D1. Should the pump come out easily? Ours gets stuck once it gets pulled up 3". Don't wanna break something off and have it fall deep into the tank. Appreciate any help...

Our transfer case large nut located on the back of the lt230 is leaking. Pulled the brake drum off and removed the case holding the shoes. Looks like there might be a seal there that may need replacing. Anyone know about its size, #, ease of replacement? Thanks in advance.

6 months ago I began replacing my 1990 transmission from my 93 donor. It took so long due to throwing out my back. She's now mostly assembled but I've somehow created some new issues: 1. The "bell" that "dings" at startup turns into a solid buzz on the 3rd or 4th ding which doesn't stop...

It has been suggested that what our Rover may be experiencing is a governor valve gone bad. Only shifts out of 1st after 15 mins warm up. Filter has been changed and metal debris was present. Looked high and low for an online video walking this "backyard mechanic" thru locating and replacing...

Last I experienced this, I changed out the tps sensor and was good to go. This time a new tps didn't work. Starts up fine but won't shift out of 1st until the engine runs for a good 10 minutes first, then all's good until the next day out. Fluid check showed 3/4 of quart low, so I added it...

Mixed up the 4 leads that connect to our Disco 95 coil. 2 leads come from the amp and the other 2 come from a loom. Might anyone know how they should be reconnected? The leads from the amp I seem to remember both connected to the negative coil lead. The amp wires feature a green lead wire and...

D1 95 manual 5sp. Anyone know of a source for replacement bushes for the AC fans on a 95 D1 & 93 RR? Thanks.

95 D1, 5 speed. This cooling profile is a new one for me. In the past, I've experienced air in the system and had to "burp" her. And I don't think that's my problem as there's no "waterfall" sounding in the dash at the heater core. As long as she's moving down the road, there's no sign of...

Our 95 D1 is overheating despite her new pump & thermostat. Pump is noisy and reservoir boils over when in line for gas. New radiator, hoses, and such, only stand out thing is I've bypassed feeding the plenum and instead connect directly into the top end. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, -Trent

Our 93RR has now developed the shakes just past 45mph. Never experienced it before. Have balanced the tires and removed slop from the steering box play. Tires are good as are their bearings. Thinking it may be a bad tie rod but I don't see any of em jumping. Anyone also get the shake wobble...

D1 1995 Here in California smog tests include a pressure test at the gas tank. Mine failed its tank test and so I'm looking for a list of checkpoints to review. Anyone been down this road? Thanks.

Funny......Now that our Disco runs well our 93RR has decided to crap out! Its a auto tranny and while driving down the road suddenly there were no gears, reverse, or park :banghead:. Anyone ever experience this? No gears and so it just rolls? Thanks.

Since I'm stumped bout my D1 rebuild (dead), I decided to pull out my transfer case on the 91' Range. Anyone recall the procedure? Aren't there bolts to the tranny? I've removed 3 stud/bolts that anchor the case to the bracket and removed the locking bar to the block and also removed its...
