GUYS.

My Disco 2 is done.

Wait, you mean you finally finished something!?!

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.

GM 6.0, aluminum heads of some sort, done.

Ouch! build up a 4.6 for much more power.

I did my head gaskets this summer in my 2001 P38. Has 135k miles now, coil conversion, 33s, winch, racks, armor and lots of goodies.

Mine is the silver P38 in this pic from Baja a few years ago. Heading back in April. Have since built a swing out and metal rear bumper to store the spare.

My other rover, 2006 LR3 with ARB front bumper, winch, lift seen here in Moab on the White Rim Trail last September. Rovers are awesome.

The last Land Rover. They picked a perfect one to end it on.

Slammin, do you know who is selling this? Looks pretty clean.

I've never seen that one around....however, on the map, it appears to be down the street from me.

Blizzard @ about 1/3 point

A few from a day or so after the storm...







Tire tracks there are from the D2 driving through the full like 30"

That thing is way....way off the ground. What locates that rear axle sideways?

It's been converted to spring-over-axle. Apparently at some point it had a 4BT in it. The steering arm is all jacked up because of the angle.

I was just after the body. Going to need some repairs, but it's going onto the RRC LWB frame eventually.

I donno what powerplant to pop in it. I want to do BMW, since the 4hp in the RRC has a M20 bellhousing on it from when the RRC was M52'd. Really wanna to M30B35....think it's a fitting engine for a Series truck....if it'll fit in the bay. I don't wanna move the grille up flush with the fenders....but may have to.

Here's a 1985 Land Rover 110 'Truck Cab'. It's very pretty.
