In Need of a D1 4.0 '98 USA SE - Land Rovers Only

GCNTSi · 05-14-2008, 08:33 PM

Newbie needing a motor. I bought a 98 DI with some "motor noise", but developed a bad rod knock 45 minutes down the highway, didn't even make it home, ended up towing it home.

So I'm in need a motor, long or short block. Or if someone can tell me a good place to buy a rebuild kit, I'll pull the motor and tear it down and have a machine shop rebuild it. But it was damn near throwing a rod I think so let me know what you have.

Thanks, GCN.

i'm parting out my 99 series 1 because i had the same problem you had and it did punch through the block i guess when the steel cyclinder liner dropped - driver's side. so anyway if you need anything beside the block let me know.

Wouldn't that be a 4.0? I'm probably wrong since I'm a newbie to the Rovers but if I am wrong, and it is a 4.6 that you have, could I even use it in a '98 D1 in place of the 4.0???

Thanks ArmyRover, I sent him a PM.

Well paul grant is out of 4.0s at the moment.

Thanks rhinoracer, if I ever get this thing up and running again I will probably be needing some stuff from you. Otherwise I just may have to part this one out as you are doing, but I'd hate to do it since it's in great shape, no rust, nice black paint. I just can't seem to find a good bottom end, or complete motor.
