Hello

leafy1 · 03-07-2010, 20:28

Thought I would introduce myself

I have just acquired a Terrano LWB 2.7td with a blown engine(2 pistons went into melt down and 2 very badly scored cylinder bores)I need to source another engine to keep the girl alive but didn't have much info on the vehicle or engine so joined this forum.I enjoy working and rebuilding engines and would have rebuilt this one but it would probably be easier for me to source a complete running lump .My search goes on and while it does I can gain a wealth of knowledge on here to make life easier when I eventually get on or off road again.
I will have a better look at the engine tommorrow but it has the intercooler on top and guess it's the fly by wire type so not the early one .The vehicle only became available to me a couple of days ago so I am still a little green.

Cheers
Dave

welcome dave, sounds like another engine's needed, it's a bit unusual to blow the 2.7tdi engine they are normally bullet proof, do you know what caused the failure? would be interesting to know, anyway dave there should be plenty of info on here for you, check the down loads, terry

I can see that after working on the engine they are indeed bullet proof if looked after, but this one suffered a bit of neglect.It was a friends Nissan and the water pump had been leaking for a while(Due to the amount of rusty coloured stain under and arround it),the bearing was totally shot in it when I got to see it the morning of it's demise .My mate hadn't carried out regular checks of the water ,oil ,engine.Infact I think that the cooling system was virtually no existent the last time the Nissan was taken out on a long journey leading to it's failure on the motorway.
A quick check that morning of the engine and water etc was all that was needed,now the owner has ruined a perfectly fine running engine.

It,s funny as the other week I looked at a Pajero for a mate and when going over it I looked in the radiator to find no water(It needed a good couple of litres to fill it).I said to the fella when was the last time he checked it and he said a couple of months back

I will get some pics when I can.

Thanks ...I steamed the chassis off and under the engine ready for removal.A little wire brushing and brake pipe cleaning is needed too but it's in pretty good nick for it's age.I 'll probably get the shults gun out when I have finished and go over the chassis with waxoil .
