I am trying to call v8tuner all day keep ...

A little update,i maild with the guys at kroon-oil to ask wath kind of lube to use on the camshaft,they say to use withe vaseline.
"Because it gives some lubrication on start-up and it will be washed away and disolved by the oil." ***

Me too hower the problem is i am working the night this week so i sleep most of the day,and phoning from belgium to the uk is not cheap.

One thing i did not tell is that there was al lot of sludge "mayonaise" mixture of oil and water in valve area,caused by condensating (engine did not loos water). Oil and water don't work well in engines hower there was no mayo on the cam area. Have send a mail to V8 tuner,i am thinking about buyin...

I am realy thinking about putting a Crower 50229 in my engine,question is where to buy ?
I have found v8tuner on the internet,does anyone have other adresses ?

Hi To prime the pump with an electric drill, you take out the distributor, you can then buy or make a shaft that has a drive to match the oil pump drive, put that in the drill and put the other end down the hole where the distributor went, spin the drill until you get oil pressure then refit the di...

Hi, No idea of the run in was done,had it replaced however it is a guy know for his Landrover garage so i think he has run it in. From him i got the tip of filling the pump with grease through the oil filter hole. How do you prime the pump with an electric drill ? I always fill it with vaseline and...

Always changed my oil arround 5000 -7500 km,and used genuine oil filter.Since there is no damage to the crank bearings i am thinking the oil filter did his jow verry well. Most off the time it runned on the "housebrand" of my local part shop.(ad rosvelds).I was told it is a brand howerver in there o...

Is it the same lobes that are worn as the last, and others are relatively OK? You could inspect the follower bores, valley cast area where oil spills over the cam etc if you are seeing it repeatedly in the same area of the cam. No it are differente lobes,already checked and see no reason wy the oil...

Yes the cam followers where changed,they where realy realy bad. Since then i also fitted new valve's,springs,piston rings etc... I thougt i would run the engine for decades to come :? Just found a acticle on slick 50 and also about zinc,don't know if it is true. http://www.skepdic.com/slick50.html R...

Sounds like either the wrong oil or the oil is getting round the engine properly. Oil pump has new gears,pres relief valve,boosted spring etc. The crank and camshaft bearins don't have any signs of wear so i don't think it is the oil. I runned it on 10W40 semi sythetic,changed it every 7000 km and ...

Hello, First post and already a problem :oops: My 3.5 V8 landrover has a new camshaft about 80 000 km ago,the first one was badly worn also the camlifters. It was replaced by a specialist and he placed a aftermarktet from a 3.9,it went verry wel hower now i discoverd that the camshaft is already wor...
