    3.9 V8 - Replacing camshaft & timing chain

    I recently purchased a 1994 manual 3 door 3.9 v8 discovery, she runs really nice but I would like to clean it up a bit.
    It has done 228,000kms and I was thinking it would be a good idea to replace the camshaft, lifters and timing chain, and head gaskets because there is some nice oil leaks happening.

    What would you guys recommend? Thanks!

    Sounds like a good plan. While you are at it, pay some really close attention to the cooling system - water pump, hoses and radiator. It is the cooling that can kill these motors stone dead if not up to scratch.

    Put your list together and put in a PM to Roverlord Off Road spares (that's his forum name) he's down in Vic, not sure how close he is to you though.

    No worries thanks. Would rimmer bros uk be a good place to buy the parts from?
