- In this video I show you the full process of rebuilding the engine, months of work in just a few minutes. The cylinders were bored out 20 thou oversize, new pistons and rings were fitted, new big end and main bearings, new exhaust valve guides, new camshaft, followers and timing chain, along with a full set of gaskets and seals, new water pump, rebuilt alternator, new thermostat, clutch and many more parts besides. I also reveal the full cost of doing a rebuild like this and my labour on the job.

That moment, after you've had an engine down to nuts and bolts, rebuilt it, turned it over, and IT FIRES!
"IGOR IT'S ALIIIIVEEEE" Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!
Thanks for sharing a window to your joy with us 👍.
Can't wait to get my hands on a landrover santana 3.4l 6cyl diesel, get it back within tollerance, and leave it smartly painted and ticking away!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for your kind comments :) that moment, or the anticipation of that moment can provide months or even years of motivation. We clearly share the same mental problems :)
Well done, deserves a lot more views 👍
Thanks Jonathan, you're very kind 😀
A hell of a lot of work and effort condensed into 6 minutes! 😎 it’s a cracking effort man, must be bonkers watching this one back!
Thanks bud. Yeah it's cool to see. It's funny I wouldn't have had the patients for big projects as a youngster. Funny how this changes as you get older
@@lozl ya true enough! Enjoy the process far more I guess, rather than just working to a goal and get frustrated when it take ages! 👍
@@dizzy_cap_car_show yeah exactly that. Little and frequent goals get you through bigger projects
Love a good Timelapse strip down and rebuild.
Thanks buddy! :) I'm.so.pleased with this video and it was very little effort and no filming! :)
Im doing a 300TDI rebuild , probably going to cost about £1500 , but i did get all the alloy parts vapour blasted .
New pistons , rebore , crank polished , cylinder head checked and new turbo cartridge and lots of other parts changed.
That sounds very good value. I might look into vapour blasting for my next engine project. Good for bare aluminium as I understand it?
Excellent video, well done!
Thanks you very much. Its great for motivation to receive comments like this. Much appreciated. 😀
One of my friends recently rebuilt a 2.25l for his Series 2 Landy. Only done 60k from new but had been sitting for years
@@jaggass cool! It's a lot of fun, I love building engines. This was a really nice simple one too. Very satisfying when you first start it up
@@lozl That's what my friend said about the 2.25. He did say it should have been referred to as a 2.3 as it's 2286cc.
@@jaggass yeah good point. I never worked out what this one was, but at 60 thou over (I think it was 60 thou...) it will be over 2.3
@@lozl Luckily his engine was in pretty good condition as the previous owner had oiled the bores. It didn't need many parts and looked very nice cleaned and painted. It was extremely quiet when it 1st started up too.
That edit at 1.28-1.32 was sweeeet. Love the vid 🙌
Thanks buddy. It took forever to film hahaha. Hope alls well
@@lozl in fairness I commented too soon, the whole video is top quality Loz 👌
@@joemason8812 thanks buddy, you're too kind :) :)
@@joemason8812 I've been enjoying the videos making more and more recently. The o ly minor frustration is wanting to keep going eith what I'm doing rather than taking the time to make the video :)
I hope you tune in for the RR project.
Congrats! Great rebuild!
Thanks Stephen, much appreciated
Nice job 👍🏻
Superb!
Thanks buddy. Didn't realise you have some videos up too. I enjoyed the money scare from 8 years ago hahahahaha
@@lozl yeah, my YT is mainly for sharing vids with friends. Nothing special. 😂
Great ! 👍👏👏👏✨🇫🇷✨
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid
Nice!
Thanks brosive
Ha! Beat you to First comment! Wallop!
@@dizzy_cap_car_show darn it!! 😡

What an excellent video...well done, you! Regarding the parts cost...were the new pistons and other bits genuine Land Rover or did you go with BritPart or parts from Turner's, or...? Thanks so much! ~Pete
You're too kind, manh thanks for comment. I went with turner engineering. I didnt question where they got parts from to be honest. I was happy with their statement that the parts they sell are the parts they use in their engine rebuilds.
I have found turner to be very good. One piston was slightly damaged in transit, they sent another one very quickly.
@@lozl thanks for the quick reply…that’s super helpful information. I’m in the States and am going to do a rebuild on my ‘83 2.25 diesel. Going to convert it to a petrol AND use a crank and conrods for a 2.5 litre. Planning to use Turner’s for parts and perhaps rebuild the used 8:1 petrol head that I bought.
@@PDLiggett sounds like an excellent project! I've heard the petrol is an all round nicer engine to live with. Engine building is my favorite part of an restoration. Enjoy :)
Excellent job, don't suppose you'd like to help me do my engine rebuild lol
Kevin I would love to. I love an engine rebuild but I am rather drawing in projects of my own for time being.
No new welch plugs?
Yes it had new core plugs throughout.

Thanks for comments :)
The key to overhauling an engine is....timing.
You mean the cam timing???
+1 you get it!
@@iceman9678 the timing was pretty simply on this engine really.
@@lozl I'm in the process of overhauling the rare Defender Mpi Engine.
@@iceman9678 ooooo, what's that then.
👏
Thanks Frazer, much appreciated
