From: robot1@juno.com Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 10:36:50 -0500 Subject: Wading plugs I just got the newest JC Whitney (read Warshawsky's for old timers on the list) which has a special oil filter kit. this kit is made to allow you to do oil changes whilst standing in front of the vehicle. It includes an oil filter relocation kit and a remote drain plug valve. You drive your vehicle over your oil drain pan, open the hood, lift the lever, and Voila! you're oil is pouring out of your engine. This seems like a remarkably dangerous thing to me, but said principle could easily be applied to the transmission fording plug. Of course, that would allow you to open and close the fording drain fom inside the vehicle and make it unecesary to crawl underneath to insert or remove said plug, and where's the fun in that?

At least thats what Im told here, but having installed one 90-sender into my Rover I get very low temperature readings, that is to say just above the white low-marking, when fully heated. Is this perhaps the normal working temperature for a S-III diesel? Or is this just not the right sender? It would be nice to sort it out before winter (now, since Im living in Iceland). thanks, Micael. ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970921 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 07:17:31 -1000 From: Faye and Peter Ogilvie <ogilvi@hgea.org> Subject: Re: Wading plug I would think that you'd want to get water into the clutch to wash off the oil that will/does/guaranteed leak past the seal and get on the clutch. What they should include is a dispenser of simple green or other degreaser to aid in the cleaning process. This would be a fun maintenance procedure. Find a river and go wading on a quarterly basis for clutch cleaning purposes. Sort of like the rather unusual recomendation to use a chisel to remove certain nuts if a proper sized spanner is not available. This may be an opportunity for some enterprizing soul. Automatic degreaser dispensers at all the leakage points on a rover. Unfortunately the plastic parts for such dispensers would double the weight of the already none to light rover. Does anybody know how to keep the rear mainseal from leaking?? Ending up rebuilding my '70 88's engine to stop a rear main leak. Used a different low mileage block, used up 3 seals before I was comfortable with how it went together and had an experienced wrench supervise the final assembly. It still leaks onto the clutch, though now minimally onto the floor.

It sounds suspiciously like the stock plug in the non-synchro gearboxes although the description of 4 inches is a tad large (2-3"?) and the side of the box is different (left side facing the engine). Oddly the 9:00 description matches but seems to contradict the rt. side ... clarification Steve? If its on the right side how can it be at 9:00? Anyway the stock part number for this plug is 232604 if you're interested. As to its use I've no idea, never having seen it referenced. I wonder if it is intended as an inspection hole (no mention in any manual) or if it is a relict of use of the bellhousing on other models where the clutch shaft entered from the other side. Anyone?? Also FWIW the wading plug, is I believe, actually in the flywheel housing not the bell housing. Its at the very bottom. cheers Jeremy ------------------------------[ <- Message 6 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970921 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: Parabolic springs/lt77 trans install
From: bigalsk8r@juno.com (allan johnson)
Hi All !!! well to say the least I was a little surprised at all the
responses I received concerning my first post about my parabolic springs,
unfortunately I haven't been able to respond to all of the inquiries in a
timely manner, so with that in mind here is a recap for those of you who
might be interested..... I recently installed a set of the 88'' springs
on my 1973 series 111 88'' , I am currently running 30 X 9.5 Armstrong
all terrain tires , Old Man Emu shocks and factory type spring bushings,
previously I had 109'' springs on the back,88'' on front with these
springs I felt the ride was acceptable but my co-workers had nick named
her '' I-lean'' as she tilted slightly to the left( aprox. 1'') . After a
trip to the local 4x4 shop and a trip up the articulation ramp I
discovered that I didn't have much (articulation)!!!!! w/ a score of 614
I was right up there with subaru's and sidekicks.A couple of weeks
latter I saw the add in LRO about the parabolic springs and went down to
Great Basin Rovers and spoke with Bill Davis to see if he had seen,
heard, touched or tasted them, he said no but would look into getting
some, well several months later, after many delays(shipping,
miss-communication, Etc.) they finally arrived. It took me 3 hours to
install them, they require new u-bolts as they are only 2/3 as thick as
stock type. I measured my ride height prior to installation and after, it
raised the vehicle 1'' on the rt. and 2'' on the lt. so my truck now sits
level again!! Well after a couple of days of driving (they are noticeably
softer) I gave the articulation ramp another go, I was quite pleased with
my second score of 784, the rear wheels now tuck and droop nicely!!! I am
very happy with them unfortunately I do not know their exact cost as Bill
went on vacation for a few weeks before I saw the final bill (I am
thinking 600$+/-) so if you are interested call him in a couple of weeks
@(801) 486-5049 he is located in Salt Lake City ,Utah
If you have other ? you can E-mail me directly .
Now I still have a few questions about installing a Lt77 5spd. trans.
in my rover, I have recently acquired a transmission out of a V-8 110, I
would like to use my 2.25 but would need a different bell housing and
input shaft, any one have a source for used tranny parts or a smoking
deal on a complete rebuild able V-8 ???? Also has anyone ever installed a
full time transfer box in a series ??? (yes, I know about stage 1 s111's)
do the u-joints hold up okay ? Thanks much!! Cheers, Allan J. 1973

That comment took me back a quick 35 years. In the early 60's, I lived in New York & moonlighted selling MG's, Healeys, Sprites, Morris Minors, Alpines, Hillman's & the like. Late one Saturday afternoon, as we were all getting ready to go home, this funny looking, out of state, pale green square car came in and complained that he didn't dare shut off his engine because his starter had bellied up & did we have a starter for a Land Rover? No, but Huey (the boss & best auto diagnostician I have ever known) said "No", but rummaged for a while through the Lucas parts book. Seems that the Healey 3000 used a starter with the same guts but different Bendix drive. We sold him one of those and pointed him to a garage that had a mechanic working late who could pull the starter, switch the guts and get him on his way. Must of worked, because we got a box of miscellaneous parts back for rebuild and never saw him again.

From: rover@pinn.net (Alexander P. Grice)
Subject: Tappets
Changed the oil today and listening to the engine with my stethoscope, I
heard a mild valve tap. Pulled the cover and #1 was tapping...even though
the clearance was spot-on. Ran all the valves anyway, only had to adjust
one. But the tap is there even though the rocker arm is adjusted correctly.
I *do not* have an un-leaded head, using ReLead in the tank and Marvel
Mystery Oil in the vapor lubricator instead. So valve seat recession is a
possibility. Am I hearing the first stages that'll lead to a new head? Cheers

It's a relic of the SI with its mechanical clutch linkage. The SI clutch pedal was linked by a bell crank arrangement to a shaft which passed through the side of the bell housing. Since both RHD and LHD models were produced provision was needed for the passage of the shaft on either side. The SII/IIA retained the same bell housing and internal clutch linkage (identical in SII and SIIA suffix A). Externally a hydraulic linkage with the slave cylinder actuating the shaft through a bell crank was used. The slave cylinder was always on the right side and the line was altered to accomodate both RHD and LHD. Hence the redundent hole. I suspect SIIs may share more part numbers with late SIs than with SIIIs, maybe even more than late SIIAs. BTW, right vs. left in a vehicle is referenced facing forward in the vehicle.

You were right Jeremy, it was gasoline residue, and I did check the tightness of the nuts too (just forgot to mention it). The stain was increasing noticably over a couple of weeks, and that got me concerned. I pulled the carb and found that the phenolic stand-off and gaskets under the carb were detriorated to the point that they fell apart when I removed them.
