t ., .I....:? .._. _._.. If the  above  figures  are exceeded the cylinders 
must  be rebored  or sleeved  depending  upon 
the 
general condition of the bores  and amount  of wear. 
Alternatively,  if the  overall  wear, taper and ovality 
are  well  within  the acceptable  limits and the 
original  pistons are serviceable  new piston  rings 
may  be fitted.  It 
is important  however, that the 
bores  are deglazed,  with 
a hone, to give a cross- 
hatched finish to...

NOTE: The two centre  and rear  bearings  are of the 
same  width,  whereas  the front  bearing  is wider  and 
has  an additional  oil feed  hole. 
Also ensure  that 
before  fitting the bearings  the oil passages  leading to 
the  bearings 
are free of sludge  and dirt. 
3. Position  the cylinder  block vertically,  rear face 
down. 
4.  Place  a new  bearing  into the front  camshaft 
chamber  and position  it 
so that it is above  the 
second  bearing  housing,...

using an airline to remove all traces of metal 
cut t ings . 
Check  crankcase  main bearings 
21. Discard scorcd, pitted,  cracked  and worn bearing 
shells.

3. New Pistons - Original  pistons fitted to new 
engines  at the  factory  are specially  graded to 
facilitate  assembly.  The grade  letter 
on the piston 
crown  should  be ignored 
when ordering  new 
pistons.  Genuine  Land Rover  service  standard  size 
pistons  are supplied  0,025 
mm (0.001 in) oversize 
to  allow  for production  tolerances 
on new engines. 
When  fitting new pistons  to a standard  size cylinder 
block  the bores  must be honed  to...

- Check piston ring side clearance 
Petrol  engine  pistons  have two compression  rings and 
one  oil control  ring assembly.  The diesel  engine  has 
three  compression  rings and one 
oil control  ring 
assembly. 
The method of checking  clearances  are the 
same for both  engines  but the clearances  are different. 
It is important  that clearances  are correct.  Rings that 
are 
too tight  will bind  when  hot, imparing  the radial 
pressure  causing possible...

Use an accurate connecting-rod  alignment  gauge to 
theck the rods  for  bend  and  twist. The maximum 
allowable  for  both  conditions  must 
not exceed 
0,127 
mm (0.005  ins). 
Examine  and check 
the small-end bush  for wear.  If 
necessary  renew the bush.  The correct clearance 
of 
the gudgeon  pin in the small-end  bush  is given in 
“General  specification  data”. 
When  renewing  a bush  ensure  that the oil hole

round,  except  those that  are being  refitted  to their 
original  bores 
in which  case  they must  be fitted  to 
the  connecting

bearing  halves in the  crankcase  and wipe  any oil 
from  the journals  since ‘Plastigauge’  is soluble  in 
oil.  Place  a piece  of ‘Plastigauge’  across the lower 
half  of each  crankshaft  journal or lower  bearing 
cap  shell. 
Fit the cap  and  tighten to the correct 
torque.  Remove  the cap  and  bearing  and using  the

10. To prevent  any cork  seal  material  becoming 
trapped  between 
the bearing  cap  and  crankcase, 
chamfer  the  inner 
edge of the  corks 0,40 to 
0,80 mm (id to &in) wide  as  illustrated. 
Immerse  the cork  seals 
in engine  oil and  fit them  to
