Thread: Running in new D4 motor

Art - guess no luck finding the build data on the block. Meant to be visible from underneath.

Came across this thread which I thought you may be interested in:

DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - 3.0 Crankshaft

In summary key points:

- OP was rebuilding a 2016 3.0 with failed crankshaft
- OP ends up getting a new short motor direct from LR
- OP confirmed crankshaft was dated 2019
- OP also stated LR advised it was an updated/upgraded crankshaft.

Also this is a link to a genuine LR crankshaft for sale for the 3.0 which has a date stamp of 300120.

What this tells me is the stock of spares for the 3.0 were manufactured right up to the end of LR using them, so your chances of having an updated crankshaft is looking up in my opinion.

Key to confirming is finding a build date (which would have been visible prior to installing the motor).

I'm pretty sure that the new engine was actually a remanufactured by JLR unit. Got nearly 30k on it now and it's running much freer!
