Thread: 1418 prefix engines

With the introduction of the 2 Litre 1418.... engines in Series 2s of 1958. There were a couple of changes to the oil Pump so they were not completely identical to the 2 Litre 1118..s in the series 1

1 The "oil pump body assembly" 501253

2 The "Drive shaft for the distributor" 267829

These parts had not been used on any previous model

Here is a photo from my original Jan 58 series 2 parts book TP199/A

No don't .

Hello,

Its very interesting to read your searching results for early Land Rovers.

I have engine 141800169 which I'm thinking of rebuilding to put into a
1953 80", its original engine is well worn out and will be expensive to overhaul.
Can you tell me what size bore this engine had originally, I'm having difficulty finding any details about it.

Thank you, Lyle

Hi Lyle,

The first batch of 6 Series 2 88 Standard (softtop) vehicles (143800001-06)arrived in Sydney on 22 August 1958 on the Geelong Star. Engine 141800169 was fitted to vehicle 143800002 with ign key 683 and supplied by Grenville Motors to Permewan Wright Ltd on 22.9.58.

Do you know where the vehicle is?

Bob

Wasnt the ANU fire engine 142800417 originally fitted with a 2 litre 1418 engine and now the owner is looking for an appropriate replacement for the holden engine?

Lyle: the 1418 engines are exactly the same specifications as the spread bore 1997 cc engines fitted to the late Series 1s. Your '53 80" and the '54 86" & 107" should have a siamese bore 1997 cc engine. The bore and stroke are the same on both 1997 engines but the bearings are different and the spread bore is a full flow oil filter system while the siamese bore in the '53s is still bypass the same as the other 80".

Depending how pedantic you want to be, the spread bore are more reliable, but are easy to detect because of the different location of the oil filter.

There were 6 older ones sent to Australia on Feb 28 1958 if anyone can find them. up to number 170...

I guess Lyle now gets the Mantle of "World's second oldest known 1418 engine", Sorry Bulletproof.
