Yep, my crankshaft bearings failed (or darn close to it). In this video, I replace them along with the oil pump to try giving my Range Rover a new lease on life.

​@@adamstolar3967 I've owned plenty of european cars (although only from BMW and Mercedes) and all have had oil pressure sensors, in fact BMW used oil level sensors as far back as the early 90s, alerting drivers via the check control system to possible oil problems with a gong and "Stop - Engine oil pressure!" alert on the LCD display even back in 1992. It's only been American cars that I've seen where they put an ancient gauge or dim light on the dash but no way to actually *alert* the driver to a major oil pressure issue.

This guy is absolutely fearless -- and actually competent -- a rare combination. Given that when I started watching him (a couple of years ago, more or less) I was extremely skeptical, given that nearly all of his tools looked brand new. I expect anyone with this degree of skill and attention to detail to have worn tools that look like they've been used for a decade or three. Anyway, when I learned that he'd rebuilt a DD engine for one of his tractors, I became a believer. I look at this as one might a Cat mechanic with 20 years of experience singing opera, well -- books and covers and all that. I enjoy every one of these videos.

Some people do take care of their tools. I clean mine when they get too dirty. Also if I'm working on something and have too many tools out or start having to look for my tools, i will stop what I'm doing just to put all my tools away were they belong. That way I can keep track of them, have less chance of loosing them, and helps keep work organized and less chaotic.

@@Nobucksolutions Preach! I catch grief over this practice regularly. But in my experience, frustrations begin to run high when your hands and work space get too filthy to hold a tool or keep yourself "somewhat" clean. I work on heavy equipment where you have large volumes of engine oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid that can be difficult to contain during a repair. Some of my coworkers seem to literally wallow in their mess. I prefer to take a moment every now and then to gather, wipe, and organize my tools... then sweep the space and wipe the equipment clean, akin to a surgical field. Wash my hands and look over everything with a light to see what else may need repair before continuing. I believe it makes the job quicker and easier overall, and the pause to clean helps me keep a cool head when shit gets irritating. It also helps keep my tools looking good, and I rarely lose anything.

I am an old school engine guy. As a young man I built hot rods that pushed over 800 HP and ran the cars at Pomona Dragstrip in Pomona, CA. I was heartbroken to see Waldo Fold on the rebuild when he was at the teardown point. I'm far to old school not to go the distance when you are that deep in a teardown and inspection. The why is simple, like Field of Dreams but mechanically you build it and "It Will Kickass" in the final tale of the tape "To Me" like I was taught by a Top Fuel Dragster Engine Builder go all the way and relish in your achievement. You have bragging rights and at minimum 100k to enjoy. At some point you have a choice to make because the RR will overall mechanically degrade quickly over time. So you find the right buyer (A Lover of RR trucks) and make a deal. My Father was practically a mechanical genius he and Smitty the 70's Racing Engine Master Pro were my guiding mentor and formed my love of Racing and engine building. I I have incredible faith that come my time. I will join them on the engine rebuilding team at the Pomona drag strip in heaven and at that point hopefully we're working on John Force's funny car. 😍😍😍

Just think about it, every guy in Australia, Africa, the military, the UN and the Oil kings in Saudi Arabia drive a Land Cruiser because ist’s simply the only car than can handle 1 million miles of dirt.

Always a concern when you know an engine has debris in its internals. You can flush oil and change filters but I would still not want to be spending a lot of money until a good few miles and oil/filter changes have taken place. Having said that, you seem to have done a great job here refreshing the engine at minimum outlay so lets hope the glitter goes away. Thanks for the videos !

The optimism level is off the charts with Waldo..."aluminium in the oil is really pretty". I need me some of that.

Great work! It's nice to see someone actually working on a Rover, instead of just pawning it off to someone else.

Many years ago I rebuilt an engine and after break in, I changed the oil to 10W30 rather than the 5w20 it called for.. I thought the engine was coming apart and was freaking as I have rebuilt many engines in my years and NEVER Had a failure.. After thinking on it overnight I decided to change the oil again, checking for bearing material, but oil and filter were absolutely perfect!! Still, my thought were that it really sounded like an upstairs noise and with that I put 5W20 into the engine with another fresh NAPA GOLD filter and after a few seconds it was running smooth and quiet.. I called my engine shop buddy and he laughed at me... He said: I get to laugh because I have done it myself!!! The issue is that the hole in the lifters is so small the fat molecules of the 10W30 could not get through the lifter to keep it pumped up. So it made noise and ran like poo!!!! NOPE, NEVER AGAIN!!! I will stick to using great oil and filters and the RECOMMENDED GRADE.....

Nice work, I picked up a cheap project L322 just like (2011 HSE LUX Black on black) this last year and have replaced the transmission, cooling system, and am gearing up to do the timing chains soon. Your videos have been very interesting to watch and I hope to see some more content with this one. Back when these were new, a friend's mom had an LR4 with the 5.0 and blew the motor in hers when the oil pump failed and she kept driving it.

Great build. Dude it would make your life so much easier to pour a foundation for your shop. I know you know that but definitely would love to see videos on that project if you do it.

I just discovered your channel and started watching a couple on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, then E-Class, then Range Rover Sport. I really love your cinematography, editing, and narrations: they are highly informative and entertaining! Do keep them coming!

The group that designed this Range Rover engine certainly never once thought about repair, rebuild and maintenance friendliness. You have quite the arsenal of mechanical skills! Is the homemade gooseneck registered yet? Can't wait for the next project! Take care!

Land Cruisers have almost a cult following, and, at least the older ones are easier to work on. I have a 1963 FJ40, and I look forward to getting it back on the road. Parts are readily available, and not overly expensive.
