    Glad you cleaned the engine bay! So many youtube builders just bolt stuff in without doing so and I find it a bit lazy! Keep up the good work!

    When Ive done transplants and had the same issue, It sometimes works dropping off the gearbox x member or brackets and settling the gearbox onto a cradle/jack, just gives you some wiggle room with the alignment. Input shaft a light smear of grease.

    Great content as ever! You’ll love the conversion and you’ll never want anything else in a defender! Power, torque, refinement, fits the engine bay like it’s meant to be there (unlike the tdci), reliability, tunability. Yes, they’re all a bit old now but if you go over them and replace all the bits that suffer with age they’ll keep on going and keep making you smile! I’ve got a late revision m57(n2), tuned up with hybrid turbo and mated to an 8 speed auto in my 110.

    have you ever seen those beam things that you use to tilt your engine via the engine crane they are a game changer when putting engines into a defender you just wind it to get the engine at the correct angle i use one and its brilliant,or take the box out put it on the engine then put the whole lot in one go this is what i did with a 300 tdi auto i am doing on a defender was easy.

    • @juicemotors

    Some really lovely work going on, great video work and I like the 'OEM' ambition. Just so right.
    But I have to say my OCD threw a wobblie when you left that fuel filter open to the aluminium dust, engine cleaner and pressure jet debris. I am sure it was just an oversight but I wouldn't want that debris getting pushed up into the BMW high pressure system and injectors.
    Great project though.

    • @juicemotors

      The gaps are for the original engine, the starter motor and the original crank sensor, since this is a different engine these holes are no longer filled. The kit is only provided with the top cover and no harm will come from running the vehicle with an open clutch setup - much like motorbikes

    • @juicemotors

    Very interesting, will love to see how it performs. I take it that the V-6 motor will not fit in that engine bay. I have two TD-5 powered Defenders, my son has a Defender with the Puma engine. For what ever reason I just do not like the Puma, probably the sound it makes!

    • @cameronwood1994
      @cameronwood1994 ปีที่แล้ว

      The JLR V6 diesel (in both 2.7L and 3.0L) will fit in the engine bay quite easily, it's just that they're not cheap because there's a constant demand for replacements when the engines fail. They are ultimately not as robust as the BMW M57 engine, and there certainly isn't the aftermarket support for them conversion-wise.
