footey Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 so tonight I droped the 13 year old diesel out of the tank, which was nice and clean no sludge, I also started to put some doors on the things, the gf also grabed some nicer photos The front of the rover is an early defender front this was to allow for the straight 6 ld28 and the moving forward of the radiator, need a winch bar for this thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footey Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Time to pull the ld28 out and slot a new one in, Â run about 120-160 psi on a cold compression test no wonder the poor thing wouldn't start without ether, everything is now unbolted and ready to be hoisted out, have a good ld28 to put back in the hole, thinking of maybe future boost plans with a top mount intercooler? have a turbo just need to craft a log manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
