    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    Someone in town has a white gx550, I can't wait to buy it in 8 years.

    Buy a second LR4 so you'll always have one in working order.

    Before I start putting the bumper and wheel well liners in what else should I do at this disassembled state? Replace the front valve block?

    Flywheel and starter can really only go in one way each. I noticed considerable overlap between the starter and the flywheel on the first motor. Didn't think it was right, but thought once the starter was energized once it might retract a bit more. Forgot to address it with the second motor...

    Think I found the source of the noise, starter gear is clashing with the flywheel. A couple of washers might be a short term fix. Thinking I'll get some gasket material and hope it is thick enough.

    It started, on the first try too. Doesn't sound great though. I'm pretty sure it is just that the transmission doesn't have enough fluid in it. I only took a couple liters before it started spilling out, which is not enough given that I had the transmission out for service. After running...

    I've caught back up to where I was and then some. Before I bolt the front prop shaft back in thought I'd ask if there's supposed to be a heat shield between the exhaust and transmission up in there like there is on the passenger side. I've looked through my bin of heat shields and nothing...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Clear the transmission adaptions with the GAP tool and see if that helps.

    Third head gasket job- why are they failing?

    Just want to reiterate that the best long term solution is going to be a long block. That said the engineer in me couldn't let the Rolls-Royce adhesive thing go. Hylomar makes a number of non-setting jointing compounds. They are blue, from a UK company, and one even carries Rolls-Royce...

    Tapa is going to send me another motor instead of me screwing around with the oil pump. This will all go twice as fast the second time.

    As I continued on to other things wiring related I'm annoyed and stumped. The only connector in the vicinity of the oil pump solenoid is purple and white/green. My copy of the manual says purple and white/gray. The wiring leads towards the back bottom and joins up with the oil level sensor...

    Just came across the little harness for the knock sensors on my parts table. Back to the dealer for intake gaskets tomorrow...

    These arms have never seen the inside of a gym and I just got a tetanus booster a couple of weeks ago.

    Wiring harness was left in the vehicle. I might be doing this the hard way.

    Celebratory scotch tonight. Engine and transmission are in the truck and attached to each other. Attached the rear crossover after I got the motor in. I was concerned about it getting caught on the cowl on the way in. Pretty big milestone. Now the hard part begins, wiring. Plan is to print...

    Figure the aluminum threads in the block would give out trying that.

    Pulled the transmission and transfer case out and put it in the back of the trusty 240 wagon and brought it all to a transmission shop and asked them if I was a dumb dumb. Guy gave it a few tries and couldn't get passed the first stator. He said I might get lucky if I can stand it up on end...

    LR4 manual doesn't show anything except that the drive plate of the torque converter should extend 6mm from the bell housing face. Found a manual for the ZF 8HP70 on some Russian site, doesn't show anything.

    Crossover pipe work

    When picking up parts at the dealership for my project one of the techs came around the corner with a few questions for me. He was essentially checking to make sure that I replaced all of the cooling system pipes. He called them a "maintenance item" with a dissatisfied look on his face.
