Need a 2.25L Diesel for series

[junkyddog11]

they dont last very long

I'd agree with that as far as the 2.25 is concerned, but the 2.5na seems to go for quite some time without issue....although I'd be the first to admit to being no expert, those that I've taken down for inspection have been in great shape even with high miles. They are heavy smokers though.

Grover,
the 2.25 still has the head off.
Got it off a guy in Indy that swapped it for a 2.25P. It had a blown
head gasket that I still have and you can see.
Have a compete gasket set to go with it. Now I can put the head back on
but you might look at the pistons,walls and top end.

Had one of these dinosaurs in a 109SW it was fun around town but on
the Hwy it turned out to be a hazard (45-50max).
I purchase this one for a back-up.

Like to get it out of here.
and this is one heavy engine as you might know--for shipping.

No disrespect intended.

Well there was one for sale in Indy on eBay- I don't remember if it sold or not. The fellow mentioned in a message to me that he thought it had a blown head gasket or something it had new or redone head, rebuilt injectors and pump- someone spent a whole lot of money on that engine. I'm not trying to "Get at" anything.

I have a great deal of experience working on series and Defender Land Rovers while overseas and have come to regard the 2.25 as probably one of the most reliable but wholly underpowered engines ever built. I had half the problems with them that I ever had with the 300TDI. That being said I have plans to rebuild one of my motors with some upgrades that I have learned about while working on heavy equipment for the Army, but; while I work out theses changes I still would rather have one in my own rover (as would my wife who's from a foriegn country where diesel is more readily available then gas) then my daarn high maintenance gas engine.....

Mak,
this will work. You can rack-out here for a few hrs sleep if you like.
If my son makes it down here this weekend he can help me with the
pic on line...don't have the hang of this new camera yet.

I don't know if I mentioned it but I have a new Series 2.25D wiring
harness to go with it and let you have some other pits...scotti adapter
new clutch and pressure plate.... just like to get rid of it. Can't move
around in this garage.

and let your financial adviser know you can have it for $500.
Your deployment with combat pay is not enough.
