Hi All,

I'm finally at the stage of replacing my RRS 2.7 tdv6 after the spun bearing.
I have sourced a Territory engine to replace and am at the stage of swapping everything over.

One question if anyone can help,
The territory engine is a 2011 which I'm pretty sure is a Euro 4 and my RRS was a euro 3, I see the timing belt
for a euro 4 is different than to the 3. Which one do I order??

Cheers Guys

front belt is the same.

rear belt:
*if your rrs is an early one (2005 ish) you have to use your high pressure fuel pump and the mounts, plastic bits, there for use an early belt.

*you can identify a early engine as there is a short common rail at the back of the engine near the high pressure fuel pump
*a common rail being like the fuel rail on the side that the injectors connect.

Thanks Dazza, Much appreciated mate.

Another Quick one if I may!
The Territory replacement has a lot more K's than I wanted but all I could afford. It has 280K on the clock.
The old engine had barley 60K so obviously I will be swapping everything I can from the old engine.
I was going to leave the heads on and just do stem seals, rocker arms etc. Do you think that's the way to go?
Should i take the heads off and do a full rebuild while its out? Anything else you could recommend?

Any advice from anyone would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks Again.

While its not a engine i would use on a customers vehicle due to it's high km's.

If it was my own personal job, I would throw it in and call it done, dont touch the injectors or anything, if you get another 100K out of it I'd be fine with that.

do the basics:
timing belts.
top coolant outlet.
a few hoses as needed.
