    Yes , pointless fretting any longer - even in a snow storm removing the rocker cover will not cause further damage. With the cam rotation you have , with cover off - you should be able to get valve lash & rotate the push-rods with your fingers , if you can't then that would indicate a / the problem - if you have not already got a immediate visual. 

    Many thanks, all help appreciated, just a relief the camshaft rotated even just a little bit and my mate Jim says he can here compression, as said its a long time since he worked on Land Rovers and we both need help, do have the parts manual so will copy those pages in case we get oil on them

    If you can get it in the dry, and start dismantling. There are people on this forum with the knowledge and will be prepared to talk you through it. Save on garage expense.

    We are attempting to get the rocker cover off this weekend to see what we can see, weather permitting

    Thanks, just need to find a garage I can use, think my friend knows to a certain extent but hasn't worked on Land rovers for a while and needs an idea hence the question about tappits. will see if I can get one of those marquee shelters at the moment

    I have only known one push-rod bent - sort of bad 'S' shape , however that was as a result of a pile up of a cam lobe /follower roller /tappet slide.  Actually - I would have expected the rocker to snap first -  they are flame hardened at stem face but seem cast material - not forged, rocker snap before push-rod bends. . A long story but further investigations revealed the head had been off , (recent replaced head gasket) with some bad work.  I suspect you have a problem on a tappet-slide assembly - so rod could be bent. You may be lucky , just flat(s) on roller & camshaft not wrecked.

    Many thanks, we just need to get an idea before dismantling as don't really want to take to a garage just yet

    Don't know if it helps but it looks to me as if there is a hinge in the middle of the disk which would enable half of it to be flipped over, thus changing the colour of the disk, perhaps as a signal or an aide memoire to a crucial part of a checklist?

    I thought that was a pointer, like a incline measure but can see your point

  6. I got my friendly mechanic out yesterday, thankfully the camshaft turns but locks after 4 turns, we haven't started to dismantle the engine yet, the question he asked, its a 1986 Land Rover 110, is it like the old transit when the push rods for the tappits bends. 

    Can any one help?

  7. Having read a lot on this and other sites I seem to see sand blasting to remove paint and rust is a good procedure.

    Not having much needing to be done at one time can any one recommend a kit, for a reasonable amount that I can use for occasional use, I have used a wire brush, hand and power drill, but does not clean as well.

    The materials are mainly metal and occasionally wood

    Thanks in advance

  8. Being more used to getting someone to help but trying to advance my skills.

    I have a Penman trailer where the hand brake handle has been bent, see picture, I have a new unissued one to replace it, prior to dismantling it I would ask HOW, yes the bolt at the fulcrum point needs taking off , its the bit hidden i.e. the release button and cable, how do you remove it and then fit in the new handle.

    Any idiots guide would be appreciated.

    I have already changed the jockey wheel handle in case any one notices.
