What did you do to your Rover today?

[Tim Smith]

Wasn't today but last weekend I went for a nice drive with some friends up in Canada.

After I sold my 12000 pound 24 volt winch, I received and fitted my new 13000 pound 12 volt winch.

Yes you can! Obviously you don't garage your Rover at night.

Looks like you have enough room on the first floor.

Is it seat belts you are able to spot through the side windows in the back. Have you got any pictures of the inside of Series Land Rover, I'd love to see your seating arrangement in the back.

Today I put this bit on...



...and cleaned this bit off:


Now I'm just waiting for the cam and crank seals to arrive from our hosts so I can install that timing cover.

Hooray! Soon you'll be out on the trails.

Painted the right side of the engine block as I won't have access to paint it after the next step (installing the timing cover with the injector pump still mounted).



Also discovered (after 6 years of running this engine) that there is an oil temp sender installed in the oil filter manifold:



I don't think I need another gauge, but it's nice to know it's there if I want it. I guess the MoD 90s and 110s with 2.5NADs must have had an oil temp gauge installed...

I admit to being jealous of your ambulance. From the distance you took the photo, the truck looks perfect! I hope you're not going to ruin the look with some new paint. Those rims look a little too flawless on her...

Today (well yesterday now...) I attached that bit to the front of the block and set that other part on the top. Found the crankshaft timing pulley bad. Cried a little bit, then ordered a new one. Waiting for pulley to arrive so I can continue...

Is it just me, or to others get a huge thrill about seeing an engine come together with the old being combined with new. beautiful work! Makes me want to learn how to do one myself. (of course the P.O. just rebuilt mine, so that will be a while)

That white-colored block is looking really fine. I had thought of using a light gray, but am now going to have to reconsider.

What paint is it and how did you prep?

[Tim Smith]

Considering how much my block leaks, crude black would be a preferred color.

Got a good laugh out if this, my timming is a little off but I haven't been able to really get to it.

While at the gas station today, after checking the oil I gave the mirco adjuster on my dizzy about an 1/8 a turn to the A (left). Damn if it didn't work! The timming is still a little off but that little adjustment improved it 100%- even the needle on my fuel gauge stopped jumping about!

I laughed a good few minutes going down the road about it.
