Hey guys
Anyone here have a good source for 4Lt V8 land rover engine parts??
I have a customer with a loose sleeve making noise and want to rebuild the complete engine not reuse whats there
but don't want to have to get parts from the UK and wait forever
The local dealer says 12 week wait from UK for basic parts like pistons and bearings etc
Any suggestions or leads will be gratefully appreciated
Dave

Melling makes a flanged sleeve for them, I put a set of 8 in one last week. It had lots of miles but the pistons were like new, we re-used them.

Re: 2001 Land Rover 4Lt V8
Thanks guys for the leads.
It turns out this is a 4.6 Lt but they need the same repair.
The Britpart sleeves are made for them by LA sleeve but I had not checked out Melling yet but will tomorrow at LS sleeve is about 3-4 weeks for delivery as they are out of stock at this time.
I have the Britpart sleeve dimensions so I will inquire about the Melling offerings
Thanks again
Dave

Re: 2001 Land Rover 4Lt V8
This last block I did is a 4.6 also, I don't think there's any difference between them. The OE sleeve is approx 3.825" o.d. Sometimes the OE sleeves will knock out if you heat the block to about 200 degrees. Or I rough bore the first cut at 3.850". but stop 3/8" from the sleeve bottom because it'll break free. I just tap that short piece out after. The Melling sleeve is 3.904", give or take a thou or 2.
