Steve or Anyone: What was that torque setting? I have the GEMS engine in my 98 D1, so same block. Can’t find it on the interweb yet and my seal is on its way.
sorry but I don't think IOWA knows how to spell Land Rover – better stick with FORD or tractor
I always seem to learn something watching your videos.
I noticed the location of the coil pack. The original location from the factory is behind the intake manifold between the firewall and is a PITA to replace. Someone made a custom bracket and custom length wire set. – can you post some more picks on how they did that? making custom brackets and wires is probably the same amount of time it would take to just replace the coil pack. =)
Good information! Have some videos on my channel too!
Wow. You seem to post the perfect video at the perfect time. Was thinking of fixing my leak yesterday when I noticed the pavement was starting to look like an old greasy pizza box. Happy to see a video that makes it look easy
You make it so easy.
You should share the cleaning process!
What great timing. I’ll be replacing my water pump this week and since the fan has to come off I may as well do the main seal too. Typical Rover oil bath down below right now.
A very common repair in older vehicles- especially LRs, but really nice to see this out there to help encourage others to fix it themselves! Another great video Steve.
that was so easy, thanks for the educational.
Outstanding video and editing
Nice one Steve. The older the landrover (real Landrovers) owners had a saying = they leak oil to mark there territory.. lol. I had an early 3 door Discovery Diesel that was so oil tight, the sump pan actually went rusty from underneath on its 200 TDi engine, a real old fashioned run for ever turbo diesel that always started without heater plugs, just a shame you never got that engine version out in the States.. Anyway, great Video as usual, thank you – Ian – UK.
i remember when they were new, they were a common sight on UK roads for a decade plus
Good stuff Steve
The main seals on an engine should not leak as the oil is held in by vacuum.
If they do leak it is normally a blockage in the breather system. Often it is the restricted part at the
manifold connection.
