Bryan, you're the real deal. You methodically work through the project and never seem to get flustered. I'm 10 minutes in and I love the tip about marking the coolant lines and that u shaped tool to take the hoses off looks very handy. It's also nice to see you using some muscle to get stuff off. I tend to be too gentle with engines and it takes forever to get things done. I've heard of plenty of stories of Range Rovers costing a ton of money. I also know a mechanic who rebuilt the motor on one, using a lot of Ford parts, and he has a beautiful luxury car for cheap. Thanks for taking the time to film, and edit, this video. Keep them coming!

Using a power tool to clamp down vice grips. Never seen that before in my life.

Thanks man. I have to remove the SC to get to a coolant line that runs beneath it. I could not find that third bolt in the back of the SC until I found your channel.

Thank you! Excellent video!

Thanks Man 😉

Great content Brian

Lol those chain wrenches come in handy I been using them on cars for years

Wow, that looks like a pita to work on.

Hey, I watched your video and would like to first say Great Job on video and mechanical skills. Is there any other advice you can share from this job. I have a 2009 HSE that needs head gaskets.

Long drift and shot filled Snap-on hammer get the fan clutch off every time, ..as long as the serpentine belt is still on. Kudos on taking on the famous (or is it infamous) Range Rover (actually a 60-s era Buick 215 stretched over the years) aluminum V8. First one I did was back in '99, on a 95 and I also picked it up at auction with both head gaskets lunched. Nice vehicle once you make the engine bulletproof. I took mine to the machine shop had had the head bolts studded, and used racing gaskets. No more worries about blown head gaskets.

How do you like the ingersol rand electric guns? I was looking at the 1/2 inch for my next one.

Any Bryan good job , are u in sactown ??

Are u maybe can tell me how to find hose between fuel rails...? I need to replace 2 coolant hoses below charger and I would like to replace and for fuel and if u can give some suggestions as well I will replace more.... I don't like to do job twice lol. Thanks.

Good morning Bryan Super professional I have a 2008 Range Rover Supercharge The nut for the fan clutch should be turn like this video Please help me out Thank you

The bolt at 28:40 that you took off. There are some hoses and a sensor back there to access that bolt. Is there a special way to remove them?

Hey Bryan916 is it easy to make the 4.2l that's not supercharged. To a Supercharged motor. And can you do a swap without a lot of trouble? Thanks

Olá tudo bem, tem que esgotar o líquido do arrefecimento antes de retirar o Supercharger

OMG! Is that thing way more complex than it needs to be or what?

Great video , what's the mileage of this car? Mine has 120 000 miles on clock and thinking about timing chain replacement. But from the other side main chains looks pretty strong

" First thing we need to do is get rid of the battery"...no, first thing you need to do is get rid of that thing!! LOL They dont nickel and dime ya to death, they $5K-10K you to death hahaha. Its a shame as much as these things cost the build quality is so poor on these. Sweet rides while they are running. I would fix it and send it packin' ASAP....but that's me. This thing is like an onion, keep peeling layer after layer to get to what you need lol. Nice tip on those vacuum hoses. Great video as usual Brother!! Good to see you wrenchin' again P.S ...success on my dodge rebuild!! Your video was helpful

Bryan im getting ready to do this exact job. I picked up a 2007 4.2L from a old couple only reason i bothered was for $1000.00 i figured there has to be some profit in this thing. i new the HeadGasket "HG" was gone from the smell of exhaust in the coolant reservoir and the boiling effect when you fired it up. What i was hoping to find out from you was, what kit did you purchase for the HG replacement. Secondly what did you do about the head bolts did you buy a upgraded set of studs like ARP or just go with OEM bolts or just reuse the original hardware? Also any advise on special tools needed for the job such as timing gear puller or any funny odd ball british tools that need to be obtained prior to starting the job. were there any parts you wished you would have replaced or had to replace due to damage during the disassembly. I would really appreciate any insight on where to order the kit and special tools. Great video thank you for taking the time to show what you were doing and explaining your thoughts and ideas. one thing i have learned in this profession is the best mechanic is the one who listens to others cause you'll never know it all and theres is always somebody out there who has a technique that could save hours. i learned alot from your cool claim and collected approach of doing thing. keep it up 100% A+

I've done lots of cylinder head jobs before, but never on a Range Rover.

Where are you located at

Where are u located

Awesome Sir. Where are you located?? I have the exact same vehicle (08 RR 4.2L) in need of this service. I'm Near Atlanta GA. where our you located? Thanks.

Passenger side hood hinges has a lock for hood when its upright..ijs

Supercharger removal @ 19:50

FYI: the hood HINGES have a locking tab with a slot that fits over a nipple, LOCKING the hood (bonnet, as the UKs like to say lol) in the upright position. No prop needed!

hey bryan I have a few RR but I just picked up a 07 4.2 SC that has high miles 188k but has a chain rattle on start up, goes away after first start. No other noises but a exhaust manifold type leak noise in the lower RPM. I was wondering how you knew the HG was gone? Can u give me some tips really appreciate it

Bryan how long did the job take from start to finish?

I have like this range rover It blows a huge amount of white smoke I did valve seal replace but I still have too much smoke and a lot of oil in the supercharger Can you suppose what's issue ?

i thought u had to lift the body off to work on this one

Same engine as the jaguar s type r??

😵😵😵

I was just quoted $6k for a blown head gasket on a 2003 Rover 😳

Superior video instructions

this is for sure 1 of the most miserable engines to work on..
