I've been out of the country on assignment for a week, so you may already have an answer. But my answer is yes, and I've done it. You obviously have to disconnect the transmission/transfer case unit (which means disconnecting the fore and aft drivelines and parking brake linkage) and sliding it back, but you can change the entire clutch in this manner without having to remove any major components from the vehicle. ________________________ C.

From: MRogers315@aol.com Date: Sun, 2 Aug 1998 18:09:27 EDT Subject: V8 Camshaft replaced Well I have done it. With a lot of help and advice from Chris and his team at RPI (I did the deed myself but at his workshop) the hybrid now has a nice new 3.9 camshaft, followers, oil pump, timing chain and gears. The job took me a full nine hours. About a third was stripping down, a third cleaning up, and a third re-building. Everything came apart with no trouble, even removing the front pulley was easy with a trick the RPI boys showed me using an old fanbelt. You put it around the main pulley and water pump pulley allowing the slack to get caught back into the main pulley, this jams everthing up allowing the bolt to be undone with a bloody great bar on a 3/4 drive socket. Once out the old cam showed tremendos wear with three lobes 50% gone and most showing serious surface breakdown. All the followers were dished. The timing chain had enough slack to allow the cam to turn 2 or 3 degrees out of sync from the mainshaft. Whilst the oil pump base was too badly scored to be re-faced. Cleaning everything up took longer than expected even with a gunk tank available. Paint stripper is RPIs favorite weapon in removing all the tar from the inside of the timing case and a very good job it does (my level of acceptable exterior engine part cleanlines was far below that expected at RPI but I could see no point in polishing up the alli casings only to get them covered in crap next time out) The oil pump chambers in the front casing required a lot of carefull smoothing before the new rotors would rotate smoothly. Re-assembly was straightforward with a lot of help from Holly, Chris's engine builder. Basicly Holly would set me one task at a time only stepping in to stop me going ahead too far in the wrong area, like attempting to re-fitt fiddly bits around the carbs before the rocker covers were on (might drop bits down inside the engine, wrists firmly slapped). The only problem encountered was discovering that the base of the radiator had rusted away and fell apart when I removed it. A good second hand rad was soon found from the graveyard behind the workshop. Once everthing was put back together and filled with liquids the engine started straight away, but sounded like a bag of nuts. I switched off straight away thinking something was very wrong, only to be told by Holly that this was quite normal untill the new cam followers pumped up with oil. Once re-started and run at about 1000 RPM for a few minites things started to quieten down untill eventually the engine was the quietest I have ever known it. Out onto the road (having been told that camshafts do not require running in) it was time to see what difference a hard days work had made. Well it seems to go a little quicker, it certainly revs higher without complaining, the acceleration is noticably faster. On a piece of road I have used for years to judge vehicle improvements the acceleration from standing test between two fixed points achived 5 MPH more than the hybrid has managed before. Chris insists that I will not see any real improvements without re-jetting the carbs to suite the new cam, but I am well pleased, and look forward to improved fuel consumption as well.

From: "Richard Clarke"<Richard.Clarke@nre.vic.gov.au> Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 10:48:38 +1000 Subject: to re-core or not to re-core - that is the question From: "Wolfe, Charles" <CWolfe@smdc.org> Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 11:09:03 -0500 Subject: Radiator replace or recore? Keeping it cool! In preparation for my new Turner, I took the radiator to my 59 II 109 into the shop. It had seemingly been working fine. I wanted to have it cleaned, flushed, checked and painted. After they clean it, they said it was totally shot full of holes. They said they could have it recored with exactly the same core, same dimensions, 5 tube and repainted for $300.00 USD (they would use the same top and bottom tanks) I could by a replacement radiator (series II, 3 tube) for about the same price as having my existing radiator reuilt with a 5 tube. What would you all recommend? cwolfe not only does the four cylinder one have more cores but it also holds significantly more water the top and bottom tanks should (almost) last for ever so there is no risk in using them again (if ok) don't even think about going with the later one - get the old one re-cored ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980803 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: GElam30092@aol.com Date: Sun, 2 Aug 1998 22:12:42 EDT Subject: ANARC 50th at Greek Peak Just got home from Greek Peak. I had it reasonably easy ... first class via Delta and those friendly but crowded skies. The event was excellent. ALL of the organizing clubs deserve a huge "Thank You" for getting it done and setting the standard for all future US Land Rover-only events. I believe the final count was slightly over 320 Land Rovers. There were Land Rovers of every description, size, color and power configurations. From Tdi's to Chevy V-8 with everything in between. The best part was putting faces to names and e-mail addresses. The unfortunate part was that it was impossible to meet everyone at such a large event. I leave the exploits of the various events to those who drove and deserve to tell their story! Later...
