When using your Rover to pull or push
anything that is stuck like a friends truck in the snow. LOCK you

robust locked but when it is open you are shock loading the spider gears
and they will fail on you.

" We
are starting to reassemble the engine now. I have had to replace the
main bearings, the camshaft, the exhaust valves, the turbo core, front
and rear engine oil seals, complete valve-lifters assembly,
head gasket, exhaust gasket, oil pump gears,. Basically anything
that moves…. I am still trying to figure out what as the cause of all
this mess. Here is what I have come up with:
1) Mechanic who did the
overhaul in Argentina may have installed something incorrectly in the
process blocking a oil galley way.
2) When head gasket blew first
time, the engine also over heated as a result – these two events may
have wrecked the lubrication of my oil.
3) When mechanic who
installed the second head gasket put it on incorrectly and 20L of water
went into my oil system, the mechanic did not replace the oil, but only
drained off the water.
Any thoughts?
I am hoping to have it running by Friday evening."
