New Failures In 1983-2019 Land Rover V8s

Now the genuine head bolts have the same problems, and on each of these motors we found several loose head bolts. We think that is the problem - the bolts are stretching and the gaskets blow when the clamping force drops. We have been repairing the motors with new head gaskets and ARP stud kits instead of bolts. The head nuts are torqued to a number instead of angle of rotation. We hope this solves the problem; time will tell. The studs have a coarse thread that goes into the block. The stud should screw in with just finger effort. If it takes more that's a sign the block is cracked or the threads are pulling out. The studs have an Allen nut in the center, and you use that to set them tight at the bottom. Studs have been a standard for high performance motors for quite a while now. After these bolt problems we have decided to put studs in all our Rover engine builds. When we do whole motors the engines are swung in assembled.

LR2 is Land Rover's entry-level SUV, but you still get plenty of styling and luxury. Built with unibody construction, LR2 seats five, and sits below the Land Rover LR4 and the upscale Range Rover products. Very popular in the UK, relatively few LR2s are sold in the U.S. The LR2 is being phased out to make way for the upcoming Land Rover Discovery Sport. New Black Pack and Silver Pack option groups are available for 2015, including upgraded 19-inch wheels, hard-disc navigation, and special exterior/interior design elements. A new audio upgrade is offered: an 825-watt 17-speaker Meridian surround-sound system, packaged with SiriusXM and HD radio. Beneath the LR2 hood is a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with high-pressure direct fuel injection and variable valve timing, lifted from the Range Rover Evoque. Output is rated at 240 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque (derived at low engine speed), driving a 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 17/24 mpg City/Highway. Three models are available, LR2, HSE, and HSE LUX. Even the basic LR2 is abundantly equipped, boasting such features as grained leather seat upholstery, power front seats, a 380-watt Meridian sound system, and a dual-panel panoramic sunroof.
