    Keep driving it with a misfiring issue that unburnt gas will burn in the converter overheating it torching, melting and twisting up the substrate material. Now you'll have possible blockage issues plus a failed converter be it one or two cats off that cylinder bank. Add replacement cost to your...

    This morning for the hell of it opened your compression check video. WTF was that? Firtst time in over 55 years ever seeing a compression check done on a running engine vs by starter cranking speed. I bet off the starter you had 75 psi at best. On another note a cheap cylinder leak down...

    Unless your engine has been cooked (overheated) past life I bet 90% your issue is a leaking and now a burnt valve. Pull the head as you need to remove it anyway and disassemble it to see if a the seat can be dressed or replaced plus a new valve. Shooting in the dark not knowing condition here...

    That engine on cold or hot cranking without igniton should of had an uneven cranking speed over that low compression cylinder. Problem noticed right away. That alone besides CEL number 5 cylinder as fault should of had a leakdown check done first on that cylinder. Pressurized number 5 listening...

    Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?

    Timbo, your tyre diameter increase from 30.0" to 30.5" or 94.247" vs 95.818" circumference amounts to a 1.66% increase. That alone is less than you'd have by tyre wear alone. Add the factor of same tyre spec numbers in diameter and sidewall the variations between tyre manufactures having a wider...

    Repeatable Vibration Issues

    Had to ask reading you also have wheel spacers. I installed Terrafirma's 30 mm spacers and had instant vibration issues on the 95 D1. Not a clue about D2's, LR3's and anything newer on how the lug nut design is on later LR's. Two issues, one the Terrafirma spacers are centered by cone nuts to...

    Michael Gain, sounds like you've done a lot of work and parts replacing with frustration being end results sorry to hear.
