hello how are you? please please please please help me! I am in the process of overhauling my Jeep KJ 2.8 CRD 2003 engine. I lost sight of the fact that it was necessary to make marks before removing the distribution belt! I don't know how to find the point of the engine without a reference. I searched and asked everywhere and didn't get a positive answer. can you help me please! You're welcome. thanks in advance
@RealSideQuest19 күн бұрын
There’s a hole behind where the turbo is that locates the bottom at the correct mark. The head has two holes on each side of the front which locate the correct position. When all three have pins to lock them in place, then you can align the injector pump and that should be enough to put the belt on. Hope that helps.

@@RealSideQuest How bout just quick advice on how I should proceed? Ive got 175K miles and it's due for timing belt. All the "experts" on the Facebook group say I should do a "level 3" service (belts, rockers, etc...". Cost for this by a traveling Liberty CRD guru is around $6K. Car is running sweet right now and I know I need timing belt but am having problem justifying spending that much on a car that couldn't sell for $6K after all the work done. Thanks!
@RealSideQuestАй бұрын
@@surfingmussel That's a tough one. A timing belt with the water pump and pulleys isn't too big of a job. Hardest part it just aligning everything up. It's much easier to do when the old belt is intact because you can use a marker to copy the tooth count to gear locations. Honestly... doing just the belt service might be the best option in regards to cost. The whole level 3 is great, but it's a lot of work. Best of luck:)

@@RealSideQuest the previous 5 speed gearbox LT77 was well known for synchro 1-2 being rubbish. They released an update version LT77S with a slight better synchro. Lasted 2 rather than 1 month 😃 R380 still doesn't like a rushed 1-2 or 2-1 once it gets a little cold. I teach 4x4 driving using a 300tdi Disco and they are such a good tool out of the box for basic off road. 100" wheelbase size of a D110. The issue with a Defender is people expect it to go everywhere off-road. But if the ground says 'no' then they think less of the car. A Disco was seen as a school run car, so the expectation is lower and they are amazed at how far it will go🙂

In most cases the corrosion does not affect the structural integrity. These old trucks were never very good at mitigating rust. I've seen so many panels eaten away from that. The galvanic rust from where the aluminum meets steel is also most everywhere. Though in an emergency situation, rust will be the least of my worries.

@@RealSideQuest my 90 has a galv chassis now as after 30+ years of abuse it rusted beyond sensible repair. Mine was built in 1985 and still has the original doors, body, roof and hood. Wings were replaced after too many tree/Land Rover interfaces 😁 Door frames are pretty rotten but the earliest Ninety/One Ten (as they were badged) had good isolation between the alloy skin and steel frame. So I have no white corrosion. Later ones not so good!
