440 Rebuild & Upgrade
I’m going to reserve some space here for the rebuild thread because the time is approaching.
I was driving back from Christmas last week, cruising down the freeway at about 60, and all of a sudden the engine just cut out. After pulling over, cranking the engine revealed a different sound. Something internal.
Finally having some time to tinker with it yesterday, I have the following data: Compression in all cylinders, although about lower than I had when last checked 50k miles ago, and now…

Thanks,
JT

Steering Column Overhaul
Well it was finally my turn to have a round with that rubber coupler. Thanks to previous members’ trials on the subject, the Land Rover part worked for me too. Atlantic British hooked me up. One thing let to another and the whole column got rebuilt since it was out:
