Thread: Engine replacement RRS Supercharged

A few pics from today.

Body off. That took about an hour. Mechanics experienced in doing it would do it faster. Once off, access is unparallelled.

Engine about to come out. Another workshop had already removed the supercharger and heads before it was realised a new engine was required. It would have been easier to have done it with the body off.

The new engine just out of the crate. It was in this afternoon and it should all be running tomorrow. Working out where to refit everything that had previously been removed as a headache as we didn't know what came off where.

The rear end.

I have some more pix if anyone want to see them.

Well that looks like a fun job. Was the body hard to get off?

Why not do a body lift while it is off??

So it took an hour to remove the body?. Pat

That's faster than it used to take me to remove the floor and seat box in a series in order to do a gearbox job.

Ron, just for curiosities sake, any chance of a better pic of the rear anti-roll bar ? (I actually typed ARB as that's the shorthand I used to use years ago but thought better of it )
There's a lump on it on the drivers side, does it have a sliding collar/spline to disconnect ?

Some more pics of the rear suspension as well

Will do, Rick. I'll take some more today.

Is this what you want more detail on?

What the hell kind of pressed metal POS chassis and suspension is that for a LR? If they're going forward in design, then I'm going backwards in purchasing.

Thats not Pollard from Pollard's that used to be up at Colo is it? Used to be a std stop off on the way back from weekends away up there.

Hilton Pollard is up at Colo. Brad Pollard is Hilton's nephew. Master Chief on this forum is Hilton's son, Justin.

I'll add some more chassis pics. The front suspension arms were, I'm sure, cast and not pressed. The chassis is fully boxed, not just a pressed U-channel.
