How many Miles can i expect ?
News to me Greg; over a million miles on my 69 CS, the factrory 390 option vs 360 ran 473K then the 414 I build that pushed the truck now at a million thirteen thousand. I've never had a overheating problem the past 41 years even pulling boats up and down the California central valley and over... -

tranny knocking
Ouch, when your wishing just a loose TC to flexplate as a quick fix. One must dig deeper into your time and labor, hope you have a tranny jack plus the mounting jig plans that are in a Rover Service Manual. This would make the repair job an easy one. I would check the TC snout to pump body... -

Ticking Noise Continued
Check into [email protected] , net or org I forgot. Chris crane gas pictures of Rover cams at 60K miles, they are totally wiped out asa well the lifters. Run a different cam with ZDDP Plus in the oil will keep a flat tapet cam alive. All the lifters i've pulled out of Rovers were shot with... -

How many Miles can i expect ?
Wow! I'm totally shocked and speechless by your reply Joey. You know better than this owning and wrenching on one to keep it running. My Limey tennants sons both have Discos, a 96 and 98 claim not a bit of a problem just oil and gas. Well I know the dealership service manager they use as a... -

High Idle
I know the 95 and older 3.9 IAC is the same off a GM V6 hell it's a old GM motor. This thru Pick N pulls collection for free or $47 at a parts store. Rover price bend over with lube. Post 95 I do not know if the IAC fits other vehicles, if so look there at Pick N Pulls or their stealers. Even... -

Hot Start Problems
Sorry I don't come back to this forum more than every 2-3 weeks at a time, too busy on my engine forums, home brewing and welding forums. Leaking injectors, fuel regulator or fuel pump taking a dump, and the OMG Rovers mighty electrical problems. They may have one or two. More like 200 with... -

First off congrats on adding a larger capacity radiator one can not have enough reserve radiator capacity. I have a custom built one in my 95 5 speed plus the 4.6 is making more than... -

DI with E3 spark plugs?
Mike; "a lot more low end torque" then "but lost my low enf torque" switching from Plus 4 to Fusion, I would like to see dyno numbers before I believe these comments between these plug brand changes. Unless you pulled out worn away way beyond normal mileage plugs with .065" gaps having worn and... -

Hot Start Problems
That would be on the right side of the fuel rail for the schraeder valve fitting not the left unless you can reach under the ram tube base and plenum on the left going after the fuel temp sensor. A 15 year 95 D1 owner here, 4.6 no engine part has gone untouched without a mod or improvement... -

Hot Start Problems
You should hae a reading from 2.4 to 2.7 bars pressure not the standard of 3 bars or 43.5 PSI. This explains why they use 24# injectors that can feed a 351" Ford or a 260 HP 5.4 litre SOHC truck motor. -

power steering fluid flush
Wow I lube every suspension joint, tie rod, ball joint, driveshaft U joint, drive shaft splines sway bar "dog bones" at every other oil change or 5,000 miles. Fully zerked fittings added when I purchased this used 95 D1. Tie rods stiff as new zero wear grease sacks full. Rare earth magnets... -

Mass Air Flow Sensor
A friend of mine with a 94 used electrical tuner cleaner he had handy that has a lubricant which stayed behind for lubing the carbon track of pots, this did totally destroy his MASS meters function. Maybe another cleaner may save it. I've been told to use Berryman B12 carb cleaner if the special...
