Hey Searider,

What is your project with the P38 ?
I know a bit about those and I really like them !

The crank caps also have bolts going thru the side of the engine

Thanks for the advise. I will keep you posted.

It was an MOT failure and had suffered oil pressure problems
Stripped out the front end to find this

Bought it really cheap, scrap value really and spent a month working on it, lovely car to drive but the 11 MPG on petrol was no use to me, it was fitted with LPG and ran well but decided to keep my Discovery TD5.

The day I brought it home was the worst of the year

A jag owner has fitted one of these cranks and done 2500 miles so far

Sounds expensive though!

Hi guys,

I finally removed the crank from my engine.
And I could see that the bloc is also dead.

I am now looking for either a donor car or a bloc + crank.

Looking at the literature, body needs lifting to swap the engine. When I checked under the bonnet, it does seem tight but feasible to lift the engine out.
Did anyone tried this option already ?

Anything britpart where the part number ends in the letter G is decent stuff, or so I have personally found on quite a few different land rovers.

Their oil and fuel filters dont seem much cop though.

It can come out that way but is a tight job and the general opinion is body off is faster and alows lots of other work to be done which would otherwise be very difficult or impossible.

Anything that ends G is either OEM or Genuine Thumbs Up

Thanks guys.
Interesting post.

I will see what I decide to do (body on or body off).
Next step in a few months.

There is another post somewhere but couldn’t find it.

Getting it back in is the difficult bit

The main difficulty I will face is that I do not have a 4 post lift...

Would it be possible only with 2 cylinder jacks, 2 men and a set of wooden wedges ?

Lifting the front 15 cm, wedges. Lifting the rear 15cm, wedges... and so on until it is possible to lift the engine out of the chassis.
