    The lifter just looks very dirty to me.

    Looks OK to me. Can you circle (or tell us) where you think it is damaged???

    The most important part to check on the lifters is the condition of the part that runs against the cam followers.

    block is fairly worn, can't get pistons out the block and the rings are caught in the groove

    tried getting a better lifter photo.


    found the grub screw holding the dissy gear in.

    big ends bearing has worn through looks like a full rebuild is in order.

    bad sludge in the sump too about 10mm thick.

    on the positive note, i put the roof and back wall on, painted the guards, doors and roof now i have cleaned my spray gun, it works like new, was clogged up with paint

    I now realise just how much thinners you need to mix with paint to spray....

    You may need a ridge remover to remove the ridge from the bore to get the pistons out. This is the metal that has been left behind once the rest of the bore has worn down with use. It may be made worse by a build up of carbon that can be romoved with a blade.

    Your block has the same yellowish lining to it that mine has. I have not seen this on other types of engines. Does anybody know if this is a special Land Rover treatment applied to the block?

    Aaron.
