honestly think Cristian knows more about engines than the Land Rover mechanics. He continues to show us your knowledge. We have a lot to learn from you. A big hug from Portugal.

Vera and Christian, who would have thought that a challenge with your piston rods could make my Sunday croissant so good. Tops guys we love it!!

Exceptional work to not only rebuild the engine by yourself, but to actually go through the time and effort to document and on top of that create the Excel file so others can "easily" replicate what you have done.

You know someone truly loves Land Rovers when they are willing to do all of this.

I watched this entire video. Initially, i searched for ring clocking and was kinda in a hurry. Ended up with a new channel to follow. I was extremely entertained and intrigued. You two are awesome!

I don't even own a Discovery but I can't stop watching your videos, eventually I'll get one one day and my garage will end up looking like yours! :D

I do chuckle; my brother and I rebuilt a race car engine almost overnight after it blew the head. We didn't know what we were doing, we just undid it all, cleaned it, new head and bolted it back up. It survived a test day and 1 lap of the race, before the block blew up. The amount of stuff we didn't do, I'm surprised that it did a full test day! You vids are so educational, they should be playing these in class

Another excellent video 👍 I'm now getting to the stage where I am really looking forward to you getting the engine back in, body back on, and Vera driving off with a very large smile on her face. 😃

Being raised in The UK (in the 70s)we went to church, this was C of E (Church of England), I now worship at the church of C&V (Christian & Vera) 😂 every Sunday!

Hey Chris a tip to insert the wire clip for the piston pin easier is the get a flathead screwdriver and cut a little notch in it that way the wire clip locks in screwdriver and u can push it in better without it slipping out.

Unbeleivable amont of detail here. Well done. This a real passion for you I think.

Siete fantastici , non riesco mai a non guardarvi. Apprezzo tantissimo sig Cristian per sua professionalità explicita e bella sua segniora molto carina. Bravo

45 years ago, we have a driver who had accidentally pulled out not only the cylinder head but also a wet cylinder liner on his Citroën DS. After some brainstorming, we beveled the liner on the bottom like the piston insertion tool and assembled the engine without removing the piston.

Christian and Vera your videos ae exceptional and very detailed. I am originally a Mercedes Benz fan, although I bought an LR3 confidently only afternoon watching many of your videos. Keep up the excellent work

Who’d have thought weighing pistons was a thing? Always great to see a new tool Christian, genius. Pity you couldn’t stop those clips flying. Amazing progress, very well.

[MrJoelkibe]

Just thought i'd give you a thumbs up from Kenya. Always a blast watching your videos

[AdeptHavelock]
