Hi Nick. I find this video very helpful in having me diagnose what went wrong with my engine. I have a 2017 Range Rover autobiography btw. Where are you located. I would be very interested in having you rebuilding my engine. Hope to hear from you soon.

@MidknightMechanics says:

Your work on these videos is seriously appreciated.

Nick on an L320 (2012 V8 S/C) which looks incredibly similar to your newer Autobiography V8, would you keep the engine in the car for the head gasket job (and new/updated timing parts of course), or would you rather pull it out from the bottom like you would at the dealer while on a lift? I picked one up and don't yet know the condition of the bottom end, after the owner overheated and stalled it. I know I have tiny amounts of coolant inside a couple cylinders after using a scope, and low compression (60psi), but no timing issues off hand. Appreciate your videos x1000 man.

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately as my 2015 Land Rover Range Rover has a timing issue. I’ve gotten to the part where you turn the crankshaft bolt to align the cam shaft markings in the back. All but one lines up. The exhaust camshaft (driver) doesn’t line up. With that being the case does that mean I have a bad valve on the exhaust side (driver)? Is it any other way to check if the valves are bad without taking the head off?

@handyfreight says:

I just bot 2017 autobiography with 40k miles. I love it and watching your videos have connected a lot of dots for me. I already ordered metal heater pipes. I have a peterbilt with plastic pipes. Junk. Thanks

Your firing order is incorrect sir…the passengers side bank is 1357, drivers side is 2468…so your #6 piston is actually #4…firing order is the same for N/A 5.0l engines as well
