Hi all, am from Red Deer, Alberta...
Have just purchased a 2007 LR3 with the 4.0L V6 which apparently did not like the condition of the rear timing chain and decided to self destruct. I have done a lot of research and am going to attempt to either rebuild or replace most of the engine with a Ford 4.0 SOHC which is nearly identical. As there are 260,000 Km on this engine I'd really like to get my paws on an inexpensive re-manufactured short block, but have not been able to find one here yet. Will be starting in on this big project within the next few weeks so thought I'd better join this forum to learn as much as I can. Looking forward to reading and hopefully contributing, have owned several 4X4 vehicles in the past and did most of my own maintenance. Vehicles owned were: 1967 Ford Bronco 289 V8 (1968), 1974 Toyota FJ55 I6 3.9L (1975), 1984 Chev K5 w/400 V8 (camper 1989), 2006 Nissan X-Trail I4 2.5L (2007) and now of course the Land Rover LR3 4.0L V6
