LR4 Low Compression
If it were a bad set of rings all other cylinders would have equally low compression. ......~~=o&o>....... -

LR4 Low Compression
I'd remove the cam cover and check for excessive valve clearance by first rotating the engine at that bad valve's cam lobe placed on base circle first. Check for a broken valve spring. Valve hanging open by a piece of carbon you should be able to thump the valve with a brass drift and hammer... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
Alloy LR rim with 255/65-70 Michelin tyre weighs in at 58 pounds I recall on the 95 D1. The spare stub housing flange with hub, disc and bearings mounted on a plate, bolted to a 3" square tubing pedestal column allows spinning wheels off the ground. Applying the 1960's era "Shoe" spin balance... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
fozzie; That would be the GAA 1100 cu/in DOHC engine Ford built trying to get the government contract which they did not get as a new airplane engine. Round engines won out. Second choice selling them for the Sherman M4 tanks as power. I recall a friend of dad that had two tanks, he used them... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
Had the large tyre shop in my area tell me my rims were bad using their "spider" or as you mentioned "fingers". Whole wheel set all four jumping around as if on an eccentric. Solved ALL balancing problems by machining out a 3/8" thick steel disc, ID bore a slide fit on their machine, OD snug fit... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
Michael Gain, the "Guidance from another forum suggested" is a hit and miss wet dream with mostly a miss guessing game with parallel body lug nuts vs cone nuts. Any non repeatable mounting like that is asking for vibration problems like others had encountered with 30 mm Terrafirma wheel spacers... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
Hope the tyre shop has the proper cones allowing the rims to spin concentric and true. With the adjustable bolt pattern "spider" adapter tyre shops use for oddball bolt circles aka 5 x 165 mm LR D1's example should their cone setup not work with the big concentric bores of the rim, you'll end up... -

LR4 Low Compression
If it were my engine i'd remove the spark plug, enter the engine with an endoscope and look around the valve head for normal equal tan carbon color deposits around the perimeter of the exhaust valves. Also look for a overheated valve condition having a burnt white with possibly a slit from being... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
The 69 F250 (3/4 ton Ford) pickup now has over a million miles on it, yup it's still racking up miles today. Bloody old Norton has over 179K miles and still alive. Sorry fozzie if my "almost derogatory response" had stuck a nerve with you being across the pond vs us Yanks in the USA. It must... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
Been doing brake (not break) jobs over 54 years, never heard, this first time reading of "flutter". A warped disc if warped so bad that your feeling it when driving not touching the brakes would about rip the steering wheel out of your hands if the brakes were applied. Floating calipers not... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
From what I gather LR4's still used the flat washer w/ parallel bodied lug nuts for their alloy rims which also has a cone seat end used when installing a "steely" spare wheel which has cone seated stud holes. Ugly looking sticking out but gets you home... -

Steering wheel shake at 50-55 not wheel balancing problem.
"Running steely" rims raises a red flag with me as they do not spin true radially and axially vs any machined alloy rim provided either one hasn't smacked a curb. Steely's not spinning dead nuts allowing new tyres to eventually wear round wearing away the tread high spots more than low spots... -

Blown head gasket
These things (LR3 & LR4) should have their temp gauge sensors relocated ASAP from day one ownership. Another what where they (LR) not thinking of or was it another "Bean Counter's Decision" with other poorly designed and using the cheapest materials? Relocate temp sensor, add an oil pressure and... -

Blown head gasket
"that level of hot rodding", that would be a basic blueprint engine building even for a bone stock low compression and horsepower engine like a 1960's 170 cu/in Falcon engine. Swapping rods and pistons around to get equal piston deck height (piston crown to deck of block the same as rod center... -

Blown head gasket
No, a lot more appreciation of stable strong cast iron. Still running a 1964 cast iron block and heads on a stroked 427 Ford FE engine out to 496 cu/in EFI build of 23 years ago running down the strip once in a while. That would be 8,140 litres of fun Hp and Tq for those that only know of liter... -

Coil Pack
Placing coil packs behind the engine with all the engine heat what a foolish location by LR then add them being prone to failures plus expensive not alone being NOT accessible. One coil pack failure your down two cylinders then limping it home or out of the woods now destroying your catalytic... -

Joey, had to ask, how can the "air filter box not been closed properly" cause a problem when the mass airflow or hot wire sensor is reading air down stream of the air filter? There is a reason why the ducting from the air box to the air mass or hot wire sensor has a smooth bore and straight as...
