More LR4 Timing Chain Failures - The Complete Chain Replacement On The Free Land Rover

Описание: Today the long awaited 5.0 V8 timing chain replacement on Merlin, the free LR4. Timing chain rattle, restricted performance and timing fault codes sidelined this Land Rover and nearly sent it to the scrap yard.

Feel Free to skip around in the video (It's a long one I know, but wanted to keep the repair in one video to make it easier for anyone to reference in the future).

The previous owner was a viewer and reached out to see if we wanted to save Merlin, so we made the trip down to Tennessee with another LR4 and drug it home (Quite the adventure in itself).

This video is a touch more in depth than our previous videos on the LR4 timing problems. Those can be seen here:

This isn't meant as a complete guide, but gives you a great idea on the process and what is involved in replacing the chains on the early teens Land Rovers.

The good news is they updated the chain guides to prevent the wear problem, so this LR4 should be good for many years on that front.
