Land Rover TDV6 Short Block Assembly in Full Detail / S4-Ep34

Great video you two and love the fact that everything needs to be “Verafied” love the content.

[@iainjackson5107]

It’s becoming a piece of art. Too good to use!

[@daves.7040]

I’ve been thinking the same thing……can you imagine the first time it gets scratched ! I really wish I lived next door yo Vera and Christian. They are so much fun.

[@iainjackson5107]

@@daves.7040 I don’t even want them to assemble the chassis to the body. The frame is too good to hide!😂

You have a very good supervisor ❤great teamwork.

You make it look so easy! Well, not too easy, but it sure does look like you're having fun. Thanks for the entertainment and the inspiration, and all the tool tips we pick up along the way.

[@southhillfarm2795]

Christian or Vera just have one heck of a job to be able to entertain so well with these KZbin videos. These videos take a lot of time to make and they have an expensive hobby.

[@simon-mouse8739]

Fantastic video and great to see Vera building her own engine. Very funny with the wheel bearing clonk too😂. Hope you are enjoying your break in the states 🇺🇸

[@frednetherlands887]

This was cracking good. Christian knows how to crack one.

[@josephgittos3787]

That Chassis looks fantastic so look forward when the engine is also added

[@irishmanshamrock8563]

Christian, Vera wanted to ''Vera-fy'' those bolts were tight. 😀 I would love to see the face of the TUV inspector when the inspection is done. Great video. Informative and entertaining. Thank you.

[@Pesmog]

Yep, Vera-fy describes it perfectly 👍

[@MichaelNaji-s1v]

Dear Christian and Vera, thank you so much for your videos, I have learned so much and I love your sense of humour.

[@reubenhooft541]

This channel really makes me want to get a Discovery. Well done , making it look easy.

[@johnwillett4086]

👍 I collected my "new" Discovery today 😁 D4 Landmark, one of the last, registered in September 2016 with only 34k miles (54k km) on the clock and looking brand new - very happy. 😃

Another great video ❤

Happy Sunday everyone ! I can’t wait to see this Disco completed. I’ve even got my wife interested in watching this channel now. She doesn’t love my Disco as much as I do (yet) but she does like the idea of travelling down through Europe, from the UK, so fingers crossed !

What a way to spend a great sunday morning again, that commercial is just to funny just toooo entertaining you guys should be on TV not youtube.. Happy Trail you 2

[@grahamwest1079]

Very well done as usual. Great team work. Would be good to have a 'Vera' looking over my work as just having a pain of a job wiring contura switches on my Landy. I have the lights working but the lights on the switch don't illuminate, such fun.

[@janbauwmans7662]

Enjoy your Sunday, great video again !

[@GarrickPayne]

In the coming weeks I will get to have a go at changing rings and possibly re-honing the cylinder bore on my Hyosung. With less than 6000 km on the clock one of the ignition coils died, which probably cooked the rings. Fun! Good work as always by the way.

[@richardharker2775]

I cannot believe sweet little Very is so bossy, in a good way that is. This has been a funny episode.

Good morning Vera & Christian 😊 It’s I good job Vera is in charge so get it right Christian lol 😆 There’s lots of engine rebuilds on KZbin but nothing compares to yours guys and the banter between you both is some of the best 🤩 For Vera as always a big hug 🤗 and kiss 😘 Until the next one have a great week 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great job as always only one comet if your loving wife wants to help you it's a good idea to make sure that she is covered up for her own protection I know Vera has done this before but working in a workshop for many years things can happen I love you guys and really enjoy videos.❤ thanks Barry.

[@Rickwardful]

Best VW advert ever was the one set in Japan: “Number one best selling imported car in Japan is VW Golf.” The car is then dropped from a height onto the floor, followed by “Vely tough as old boot!” Dare you do that with a Discovery?

[@jamesray3920]

Another mast piece by christan that most of will never do unless lr time is your neighbor but here usa we have 4.4 v8 power it truly takes a skilled person to remember and know where all these nuts & bolts go and torque specs i can't get my nightmare lr3 to stop the transmission and suspension fault next week i buy all new heights sensors and transfer case module mine had corrosion in it but the dealer wants 1k to program it vera that's a huge OMG 😲 i only bought my lr3 for 1100.00 dollars 😢 im waiting on christan to get to this part in his rovers maintenance portion lol until then i ride in my yota oh yeah it just won't break down

Top work, and how can you not love a woman who carries a spare wheel bearing, just wonderful Christian how do you ever find time for work ?

[@ВикторМанаков-к1ъ]

There are short block parts for this engine. This motor was installed on the F-150 and the crankshaft is suitable for LR there. For example crankshaft part number 9X2Z-6303-B.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No oem bearings are available. Usually sold out. Crank is available oem indeed also from JLR. Christian

[@Motorcyclefan17]

Good day!

[@MillfieldWheels]

Hi Christian and Vera. I've watched your channel for some time. Great content! I've been having problems deciding whether to buy a Disco 3 or Disco 4 and after a great deal of thought I've decided to buy a Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero. Keep up the good work.

I used honey bee oil to hone my engine and it doesn't seem to be a problem, as its now running sweeeeet 😂 But I am having trouble finding a torque figure for the spare wheel bearing, perhaps I'll use more honey bee oil. 😉

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi loads of gear and many ideas , to keep these running . I notice most of the many pockets on your trousers are empty , is this due to the L R,s wheel bearings rattling around in Vera,s car .? Amazing work and fun to watch . 😉👍👍

[@Bikemad24]

Such a British sense of humour

[@bugjuicer]

I'd love to see the engines you've rebuilt, on a dyno; just to see their output of a hand built engine, vs production line built engine. I'd also love to see you build up a modified engine, to see what and how you do it

Yes if we had 250000 followers that would be possible. But only 20000 watched this video, so we are still on a very tight budget.👍🙋‍♀️

Do you by any chance have a repairable cranckshaft for 3.0 ? I you'll like to buy it.

[@jfr55man]

you guys rock!

[@slypig24]

If you could redesign the crankshaft, how much extra steel width would you want, between the journals? Which would make the whole crankshaft & engine casting longer.

[@spearsnatorreefa2042]

Gday chrrstian i love your vids i have a question my lr3 is going into limp mode occasionally under hard accellaration do you have any ideas its sending me mad

Thanks guys the moral is you can make these engines last if you keep everything in speck!

[@martinkulik9466]

Thought they built the ceramic engine part at first wow

[@Butcher-s]

Hi! You good command.Best regards.🤗

[@ervie60]

Great job as always. Just 2 things I noticed; 1 get the block professionally cleaned and while at the machine shop 2 get the top side of the block skimmed there too. Question: how is the balance of the rotating assembly, within spec?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Rods, crank and pistons are in spec and crank is oem = balance in spec. Skimming the block will scrap it as there is no fitting gasket available. Many folks found this out the hard way. Christian

[@ervie60]

@@Vera_and_Christian No alternative gaskets? that is bad :( Anyways, hope for the best I guess (heads and block are parallel to be gastight) Oh while the frame is easy to reach; few bottles of waxoil prayed on inside of frame tubes? Adds years of life to it :)

[@brumster69]

The VW advert 😆😆

[@MuggaVirtualPilotMVP]

Why aren't the lobes polished if they're known for cracking? I would imaging propagation could get going on the rough surfaces. Love the videos - From Australia!

[@jorjimaco5331]

🍻🇦🇺👍

[@johnmelling9950]

Why do you put atf on the back of the bearings? When I was at college in the 90s i was always taught they should be spotlessly clean and free of oil because the oil film will alter the clearances

[@paulaus]

You don't want the bearing to be moving against the block at all so no lube on the back of the bearing would make more sense.

[@warwickbunn1250]

Yes that's an interesting point. If the bearings are torqued down correctly then they can't move. So I wonder if some lubricant before fitting would allow them to 'settle' into position better than a dry slide into place. 🤔

[@andrewmarkland9411]

Superb - but why didn’t you reverse the honing direction between banks…..

'of course Christian it was a running engine! lol

Hi, I have been enjoying your videos. I am thinking of Buying a 2006 Discover 3 TDV6 with 100,000 Miles on it. Is there a certain mileage when the cranks shaft is most likely to have broken already?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Only the 3.0 is known for snapping cranks. The 2.7 is known for the oil pump issue. Better watch all our LR3 and 2.7 L videos or you may have a terrible day. Check our most essential maintenance video at least. Christian
