I have a "klinging" sound too. It is audible in the vehicle at higher revs and outside the vehicle evewn at idle. It goes away completely when the fan belt is removed. try that and see what happens. I apparently is in the water pump or alternator, but I suspect its the waterpump. Try it and see. I guess the next step is to spray wd40 on one pulley, if that makes it go away (i.e. that pulley is slipping and therefore not turning) then you have located the source. I have never actaully tried this method but I have heard it described. later DaveB ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980513 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I had a similar problem once, and went through the somewhat laborious task of removing the water pump and front cover to get at the tensioner. The tensioner seemed fine, but I cleaned it an reassembled the front end... only to find that the klinging sound was still there. I just lived with it for a while, until one sunny day when I decided to have another go at it. Closer inspection (of the shop manual, that is...) revealed that the timing chain vibration damper needed adjustment. It was too far away from the chain. Readjusting is simple, loosen the bolts holding it, and use a feeler gauge to get the correct clearance. (I cannot remember what the clearance should be, as I don't have the shop manual at hand right now, but I could look it up (for a SIII 2.25 petrol anyway)). The hard part it getting to the timing chain. You need to remove the breakfast, radiator, fan, fan pulley (that's a hard one, the nut on the crankshaft is TIGHT!), water pump, and finally, the front cover. Apart from all the work involved, the job is quite easy. Check the state of the cogs on the chain wheels, the state of the chain itself, and the tensioner while you're in there. If you disassebmle the tensioner, make shure the spring inside doesn't jump off into the unknown... Oh, and of the chain and the wheels inside do not show any sign of wear, do not remove either the chain nor the wheels. To much work in realigning them... This is an excellent time to renew the crankshaft oil seal, by the way. -- Terje Krogdahl Norwegian Land Rover Club http://www.land.rover.no 1972 SIII 88" 2.25 petrol ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980513 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: Painting woes
Art Bitterman was having a spot of bother getting paint to look right. Here
are a few pointers (gathered from painting a sailboat with Awlgrip epoxy
paint. Awlgrip is *very* demanding in terms of technique and its thinners
will scramble brain cells fast if sprayed w/o a respirator). I would
hazard that most Rovers in this world are painted with rollers...and *house
paint* to boot. I've re-sprayed my Rover twice...and both times during the
summer when temperatures were too high to do a good job.
Don't have the paint store use one of those shaker thingamabobs to mix the
paint. It induces a lot of minute bubbles....as you may have discovered.
When brushing, use a "brushing thinner". Some paints have a variety of
reducers depending upon temperature. The DuPont "DuLux" can be formulated
for either brush or spray application.
The roll-and-tip method can work quite well...you just have to keep a "wet
edge" on the paint. I like to use a small (4") foam roller and an almost
dry brush (two, actually, the spare residing in a can of thinner) to tip
out the roller.
Are you sure they are bubbles, not minute specks of dust/dirt? Use a
tac-rag just before application. Good luck

The timing chain tensioner is operated by oil pressure. Oil has to pump through a very little hole to push the tensioner out and tighten the belt. As the belt wears it gets longer and the tensioner needs to pump out farther to tighten the belt. When the belt is loose it rattles against the housing making that rattling sound that you are hearing. When you start the engine it takes a little time for the cold oil to be pushed throuigh those little pasages. The chain will probably rattle more on cold morning starts than on restarts when the engine is warm. If you hear that rattling all the time when the engine is running then a partical has most likely clogged the hole for the tensioner keeping it from pulling the chain tight. This will destroy the chain fairly quickly. The rattling when you first start an engine is not a sign that the car is broken, just that there is some wear on the engine. If you want to get rid of it you can replace the timing chain. But everything else involved needs to be in good condition too.

Sorry to disappoint you, but 2 years ago I painted the oilpan under my V8 with green hammerite. It is still there, and I am nearly sure, that it is not water, running down on the outside of that engine, after all it is made by Land-Rover.

The fan between the pulley and the alternator was touching the iron shield around it, it took less than a minuet to press it into proper shabe with my fingers, but nearly half an hour to find the problem.
