1997 Land Rover Defender Engine Overhaul

[@matthewjackson6123]

Run the engine at high rpm to break in the camshaft. A very important part of the job. Otherwise great job and thanks for sharing.

Great to meet you!

Awesome video sir

[@MorganwwMurphy]

Really amazing job and great video.

[@eddieflores2852]

Wow! Amazing the talent you exhibit!! Gives me hope! What is your background sir! lol

[@Paul355c]

Just a long-time car guy learning from hard mistakes over many years. I went to school for Mechanical Engineering but that was more theoretical. I'd say all of my skill is self-taught.

[@eddieflores2852]

@@Paul355c I understand the live and learn method! Stay blessed sir! PS your wife is a true trooper for letting you scatter your build and priming in the basement!

Looks amazing - thank you for posting. I really enjoyed the RRC project too. I previously had a NAS D90. What color green is yours? Eastnor?

[@Paul355c]

Good morning. Thanks for the comment. Mine is Coniston Green. I knew there was a Willow Green but I hadn’t heard of your color but I can’t wait to look it up. Another favorite of mine is Arles Blue.

[@Paul355c]

I didn’t mean ‘your’ color. You said you had a D90 but not necessarily Eastnor.

[@egec1]

@@Paul355c Thanks! I have a RRC now, so between that and the D90 - I like your choices :) My current RRC is a faded Ardennes Green (which is a metallic color). When the time comes, I'm going to have it done a slightly different color green. I like Coniston too. I'm leaning towards the darker green that were on some of the Series...Bronze Green.

[@Paul355c]

@@egec1 great plan. Have fun with it!

Where did you purchase the rebuild kit?

[@Paul355c]

Hi! It’s been a while but I think it was Atlantic British. Good luck with your project.

[@REELCOMPAS]

Thanks. Just picked up a 97 Defender 90 NAS. Has high mileage so I'll be trying to do what you did on yours. If you find anything related to the parts used I'd be very appreciative.
