Wait, you mean you finally finished something!?!

Yup.....my Disco doesn't leak a drop of anything.

But uses 2qt/60 miles.

Long story long, I've been getting a 7 misfire. Did the wires and coils just cause....wires were looking shitty and I'd had them arching on the valve cover from time to time. Fixed it for a little while....then 7 misfire came back. Fouled plug. I'd previously wrapped up my oil leak fixing....front crank seal....and it was STILL using oil at an alarming rate. Heads were done like 20k ago. I was getting some smoke on hard accel, but figured it was just blowing shit out since I never drive it...let alone drive it hard. #7 was oil fouling. Cause....piston ring. Compression is great, which threw me. 165psi, give or take. The oil ring seems to have come apart or gotten stuck. Put a bore scope thru the plug hole and looked around....had to manually turn the engine over to get the piston down....peeked in there and there is a nice line of oil down the bore, along with drips flowing down from were the piston had been. Also chunks of shit, presumably carbon from the piston top.



So.....TLDR: engine's fucked. Wanna build it to 4.6 now....but wanna focus on the 109 so bad.

My Disco 2 is done.

Anyone have a cheap 4.6 I can rob a rotating assy from?

Debating on painting the mani....

[slammin.e28]

So, suspecting a dying coil pack, I removed the coil packs.....

....which means removing the intake mani.....what a terrible design.

Anywho....testing the coils they are fine. Fuck me I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion.

Ordered a set of wires.

[slammin.e28]

Don't worry. I don't have any money anyways.

Need to get something finished and unload it.

Please don't do this to me. I don't want you to be lost.

I'm working my way back.

[ST1G]

Miss you.

[slammin.e28]

Not sure if this was asked, but what kind of mpg you guys getting. I feel like the computer is optimistic. Saying 14mpg ish mostly city

12.2 with 33" tires and what not.

Was 14 before the tires.

Haven't been driving it lately. Cyl 7 miss keeps recurring. I swapped plug 6 and 7....7 was really fouled out. Ran it, it was fine. Scanned and nothing. A week or so later.....cyl 7 miss and random cyl misfire codes. I think the coil pack is going.

Also I removed my rear bumper and made the reverse lamps into the turns. Reverse lights will be aftermarket LED lamps mounted on the rain gutter at the back....once I get this damn misfire BS fixed.

It's still leaking oil from the pump/timing cover too.....but I've been keeping an eye on it. As long as its local driving I'm fine. Interstate/high revvs and it really fucking pukes out.

As for the 109, I've decided it's getting an M30B35. Began disassembling the RRC so I can have the frame. Man this is a ridiculous project.

Right around 13. Could do better if my commute wasn't riddled with soccer moms that can't drive

Just did a 120 mile round trip about 50/50 highway/city.

I filled up the Range right on the empty line/fuel light and got around 6.5 gallons. When I got back home im hovering just above the empty line so I think I have about a gallon left from what I filled.

That would put me at 21.8mpg..... Wat. I was feather footing the pedal cruising the speed limit the entire time. I don't think I've ever broke 20mpg with the p38 even on a drive from SoCal to San Fran best I got was 18 mostly highway.

After not driving it for months I was out running around in my Classic last night. Needs new tires badly which it will be getting tomorrow. I always forget how much I love driving this old truck.

Gorgeous range! I almost worship these things!

Guy who owns a bike shop near me has 2 classics rotting away in front of his store, been killing me for years to see them like that...
