I don't know what year the donor vehicle is, but seeing the photos of the bottom end reminds me that the early 2.4s had the potential problem with the piston cooling jets. I imagine that you're replaceing them anyway during the engine rebuild but it would, I suggest, certainly be worth doing.
Intersting thread, please keep the updates coming, especially the engine rebuild photos! |

Thanks I'd love to get a bit more time spent at it.
It's a 2010, but the good engine was pinched and put into an 08 which that one has come out of,so there's a good chance the piston jets are the fault. Sound proofing, I'll apply spray on sound deadening under the panels that's over paintable and bed liner that's on the inside that's colour matched, I've done this before and it looks excellent and last well. |

Haven't got much done, but I did get the paint ordered and mixed up.
Still amazes me how different it can look in the tin and different lights. Click image to enlarge Good match

Well feeling very guilty about building so many and letting my own sit there in limbo, but that’s always the way! I’ve tried to make a bit of a start onto this again.
Stripped the car down, started into body work, got a ton of shot blasting done, got my machining done for the engine, new piston rings, big end and main bearings, timing chain kit, gasket sets, piston cooling jets, oil pump, set of seat re-trims for the seats, cleaned up the wiring, removed the hideous chequer plate from the bonnet and gathered a stack of parts. Quality parts for the engine rebuild, Victor Reinz gasket and bolts, Yenmak rings, king bearings, BGA timing kit and new gears too. Another crank as ive two of these 2.4s to build
Click image to enlarge Honed cylinder wall porn. Click image to enlarge Block all honed and washed for assembly Click image to enlarge Galvanised Bulkhead from Mosside Land Rover Click image to enlarge Bulkhead stripped pictures in reverse order for some reason? Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Chequer plate off bonnet, TIG up the holes. Click image to enlarge Shot blasting back for galvanising- think I’ve got everything?
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Chassis is mint quick wipe off the dust off it, think it was two years in service. Click image to enlarge Before strip down Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Happy and now it’s all in bits again, off to paint and I’ve started building up the components to put it together Click image to enlarge |

Sorry didn’t see this comment, I use 3M products or Evercoat, expensive, but they last long term which is the aim for me. Big difference in quality between bodyshop products like anything automotive. |
