The V8 Owners Forum -

It's on both LPG and petrol, worse on LPG but guess that's just because it copy's the petrol,

Valve timing am almost 100% certain it's spot on, but its something else I am going to check, same with compression, will check them ASAP,

Any other ideas,

Thanks

Good evening, Bit of back ground, I rebuild the v8 thor lump using 4.6 crank and rods 4.0 pistons, torque max cam, all valve / tappets set etc The disco has never seemed to run right even before the rebuild I have changed maf sensor ( 6 in 8 years ) using gen sensors, new O2 sensors but...... When d...

Automania, I checked this today and adjusted it so there was a small amount of free play on the pedal. This seemed great but again it warmed up and started slipping, also noticed when warm the free play totally went and the pedal went back solid, just a daft question could the rod from the slave cyl...

Just to drag this back up. Had the defender back in with a slipping clutch. ( again ) Just pulled the box clutch still seems new but changed it and problem still there, doesn't slip to much when engine cool but when hot slips really bad. Having a good look it's got a new master cyl and slave cyl. No...

Hi mike The only reason I can see why this has been done is the flywheel not fitting onto the crank, it's a he'll of a mess how it's been cut! It's been cut so that it's not locating the flywheel at all Going to put a new crank in and go from there, even if I have to machine the flywheel it's got to...

If it makes any difference it bolts to a lt85 box.

Good afternoon I am in the middle of working on a defender that has been converted to a 4.2 ( used to be a 3.5 ) It's a manual box that's in the defender and when we have had a look it has had the end of the crank cut off with a grinder because the spigot bearing housing won't fit through the flywhe...

Am not to fussed about top end power it's more low end am after I have the 4.6 crank and rods and the 4.0 pistons sorted and just need to put a order in this week for cam lifters etc etc Are the bleed down lifters worth the money? Just hope I get the time next weekend to build the engine. Thanks for...

Thanks very much for all your advice. Looks like it may be a call to Rpi for on of there cams then.

With regards to lifters are the anti bleed ones worth the extra or do people just stay with standard.

Kev, are you still using stock 4.0 MAF etc or did you go for the larger 4.6?

Thanks.

yeah it is a auto, thought about the 4.6 option as i have a p38 bottom end that has had a slipped liner, sure there is no reason why i cant pull the crank and rods and fit them to my block is this true? been reading up on the 4.0 > 4.6 and theres alot of people saying to swap crank and rods but keep...

Good evening people I am rebuilding my discovery 2 v8. i use this quite a lot for off road and it has roll cages, winch bumpers etc etc so it is a fair bit heavier thank stock So when i am rebuilding the engine i might as well do what i can to increase the power, But am abit unsure whats best route ...

I'm fitting a Bigas LPG to my disco 2000 V8. Need help with where to connect the rev signal wire to the dual coils. the plugs on the coils have a red, a white and a green wire, but not sure which wire to attach the rev signal to.

Any help would be appreciated
