Also now have a small leak where the cam shaft is on the rear. May try retorquing the inlet down again and see if that helps. I am the point of selling the Range Rover now. It's getting old and now needs suspension issue sorting out etc. I also was told not to use sealant but coming from an engineering background, that area of rough casting over and around the camshaft, I regret not using an RTV or hight temp silicone. I am sure it would have helped.

Hi Mate thanks for the video...I have done both sides of mine about two years ago didn't done much driving though...I have noticed a severe leak running down the transmission coming from the top ..With investigation I found a leak on the driver's side at one of the Bolts... It ain't cracked...I noticed on the oil cooler there is little bit of oil on the right hand side to the front it doesn't look new Looks quite thick though where it's coming from I don't know one of my oring did leak on the throttle body t I am not to sure if I didn't clean It properly when I replaced that seals...I haven't put any RTV on the rocker gasket the first I done time ... i feel like I should have done It? This is rocker covers that I have bought from eBay could that be part of the problem not ( ome) I didn't re-torque it after a couple of kilometers should I? Do you think i got the oil cooler and rocker cover leaking with the oil running down the transmission like you mentioned in your clip..Do you suggest to replace the rocker covers or would you think re-torque would do the Job?, Should I put little bit of Blue Locktite on the bolts if I replace the rocker cover and should I put little bit of RTV for extra precaution...

Does disabling EGRs prolong the life of inlet manifolds? Considering they won't be clogged up?

Doing any sort of egr delete wont have any effect on cracking manifolds. Short runs, stop start, city driving is the biggest issue with a diesel.

Yes they can have less issues with rust but you still have the seals top and bottom that have always been an issue. The bolt holes where the windscreen hinges are/used to be are also still prone to rust and corrosion.

pretty good way to do it, I'll be giving it a go next time I do this job! I've always done it by taking the fan cowling off, removing the accessory belt, undoing the three bolts for the water pump and then cable tying it up out the way and then gone through the front under the water pump and pulled the hose off/put it back on that way.

Did you glue or use sealant to hold the gasket in place for the intake manifold?
@aztech4x4mechanical4 ай бұрын
Do not use any sealant on the rubber type gasket just make sure the top of the cylinder head is spotlessly clean. The workshop manual does say to put a small (tiny little smear) amount of sealant at the bottom edge in the corner where the cam caps touch the head. But I dont do this and most engines I have done never had any from factory. The new manifold has the gasket fitted with the bolts that have collars to keep the gasket in place while installing it.

Hi Mate I have done my rocker covers about two years ago I recently found oil leak running from transmission coming from the top I have put a camera on drivers side saw it's leaking on the side of the rocker cover where one of the Bolts are I didn't re-torque after I installed It also didn't apply any RTV when installing regretting That now..my local Land Rover Guy where i buy parts from (doesn't whant to give any advise) told me it ís because I used covers from e Bay I should have bought OME parts from him ($1000 for One cover) he claims eBay one's last only 6 months it's leaking on the side not cracked... You also got me going with the oil cooler I got tiny bit of oil on top of the oil cooler looks very thick almost dry and then the massive oil leak running down the transmission....I replaced the oil cooler before.... Can this be the main culprit... Should I replace the whole cover again with ome part will It be as simple as re-torque or or replacing only the oring gasket should I rather put very tiny bit of RTV on the gasket?
