Timing parts purchased are quite different
I actually have both the genuine LR failed ones and Genuine new ones not yet installed, let me see if I can take some pics of them side by side to confirm what these look like vs your eBay ones -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
A few updates: drained the rest of the oil and cleaned both feed tubes, I didn't replace the bottom aux chain, tensioner and guide as you need to drop the oil pan for this, to drop the oil pan it looks like the motor needs to be out. However, I checked the condition on the lowest timing... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
There was still some residual oil in the pan so I drained that and cleaned the water jacket passages as those were super gunked up before, probably from the oil and coolant mixing. Now I'm trying to figure out how to remove the bottom/crank timing chain as the workshop manual is a bit skimpy on... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Update: Parts day!! Got most of parts today, the only thing that Merriam didn't have in stock was the crank seal. Received the timing, Headgasket, seals and headbolts. I also spent most of the day retapping the remaining headbolt holes, I'm so happy that part is done, all in all, that... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Milwaukee Hole Hawg 2807-20, in some cases I needed to put the drill bit in the jig/headbolt hole first and then put the drill over top and tighten in place. I also removed the back handle for the crammed areas but despite its large appearance its worked perfectly well without me even needing to... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Update: Got a call from Merriam this morning, the only back ordered part is the crank seal, so I asked that they cancel that and throw in a couple of oil filters in place. I'll see if I can get a crank seal sourced locally to keep the project moving. As for the headbolt re-tapping, I got through... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
what are you typically paying for a filter? FCP has the Mahle ones on discount for $27.29, made in Bulgaria vs the LR branded ones listed for $43 and made in China. FCP states that both the Mahle and Mann's are OEM. -

Replacement Valve Guides
Honestly, I wouldn't tear out the valve guides unless you really need to, well at least that's at the advice of my local machine shop. They only replaced 3 of them as the respective valves made contact with the cylinders bending the valves and loosening the guides a bit. They checked the rest of... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I specifically avoided AutohausAZ this time, you reaffirmed my decision with an earlier comment, also the two times I've dealt with them previously were both nightmares. In some cases they had great prices but it's such a hassle dealing with them that it's not worth the few saved $ for the... -

Replacement Valve Guides
My local machine shop was able to identify valve guides with the same specs (inside/outside diameters and length) as found in some Subaru models that are readily available. I'll try to dig up the info for someone else's benefit. Let us know how yours go! -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
A little update - I got a hold of a LR and Jaguar manuals, that's been a fantastic help. So far I've tapped and threaded the inserts on 6 head bolt holes, hoping to knock out the rest minus 2 today, the remaining two are as a result of me waiting on the new head bolts as I'm getting the M11s... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
For the record, Merriam has in most cases the best prices - a few things we're a couple of dollars more but since I'm only paying for a single shipping fee of $30, it makes sense to order as much as I can from them - they dont do returns and only take online/email orders so you have to be 100%... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Finally got around to checking all of the exhaust valve clearances - set up a comfortable standing height foldable workstation and I ended up kicking over the box of arranged cam follower tappets... FML. Figured I should probably check all of them anyway in case the tolerances have changed due... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Thats a major bummer and makes no sense that they cant get you that sweet online deal! I reached out to these guys earlier today to see how comparable their part costs are, I made a spreadsheet comparing a couple of part sites vs buying directly from the LR directly for OEM parts. As Beemer... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I'm back working on the LR4, a few too many projects going on at the same time. After inspecting the head bolt holes, turns out that a couple of the center ones have shavings in them. The head bolts don't thread in super easy either. Just ordered a NS300L 11x1.5 kit from Norm for rethreading... -

Great point, I started assembling my own kits between a few suppliers who carry OE/OEM. -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Yeah definitely not trying to get budget parts on the HG parts, was just wondering if the Eurospare kits were all OEM, but really for the $80 difference I'll probably end up getting the Atlantic British kit. My typical go to with FCP Euro but their kit is closer to $700, Ive only had bad... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Finally!! We have some forward momentum. Machine shop popped out one of the valve guides and they are nearly identical to some subaru ones with part numbers IVGSU12 (Topline). I've also ordered genuine 3x exhaust valves to replace the bent ones. Now onto ordering the head gasket kits, does... -

Replacement Valve Guides
Has anyone one here replaced valve guides on the 5.0 V8 engine? This is sort of an offshoot from another thread that I have for rebuilding an LR4. Long story short, the passenger bank timing skipped, bent a couple of valves and now a couple of the valve guides are a bit loose and likely need... -

Machine shop had a great idea of also trying to source these via Ford as these blocks and heads did come out of a Ford factory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Well unfortunately no luck with the dealership, the tech I spoke to says that LandRover consider the 5.0 valve guides as not serviceable, so if they have ones that need replacing they replace the entire head! Crazy!! The hunt continues for valve guides Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I can’t find the part number anywhere, also no place seems to have the available by searching specifically for a 2010 LR4 5.0 V8. I’m going to call the stealership tmrw to see if I can find anything there. I’d think they would be readily available with these engines being relatively broadly used... -

I’m able to source everything except the valve guides. Anyone had any luck ordering/sourcing them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
