Hello,
I recently acquired a 1967 Series IIa, 2.25 liter 88” station wagon with safari top and overdrive, 12v negative ground conversion, zenith carb, 10Si alternator. This is my first land rover, and I am really excited.
Unfortunately, the engine had low compression in #2 and #4, so I have decided to rebuild the 2.25. I want to keep this vehicle original, and have rebuilt several engines over the years (just never a rover engine).
My question is this: what updates/modifications are recommended during overhaul? What parts are ok to reuse vs. replace (e.g. lifters?).
Lastly, are there any pitfalls I should watch out for?
Thanks a ton for any advice you can share!
