Tips and tricks for installation are welcome Pull the engine, it's really not very difficult, and makes working on it much easier. Get a hose clamp that will fit around the piston, use it to compress the rings, then tap into the cylinder with ease (be sure to oil everything). |

Cool!!
Hot Rod Parts and the Builds are allot of Fun.
Pay very close attention when using that hose clamp to compress the ring as not to get one of the ring gaps in those little slots that the clamp uses to tighten itself. very easy to have one of this buggers hang in unseen in that slot and snag it.
Best of Luck!

I need to buy one for my Land Rover, kill two birds with one stone   |

That will work and have used, but does your Land Rover have a spin on filter under 3" in diameter?

Make sure the intake side of the piston is on top and the same with the rocker assembly. Ex is on the bottom.
Use a torque wrench on the head bolts and reset the valve gaps and double check the setting after tightening the lock nuts, when done.

I need to buy one for my Land Rover, kill two birds with one stone  Oil filter wrench will work so long as it can be tightened small enough. You can do it with your fingers, but some form of strapping makes it easier. |

Also be sure to note where the guide dowels go. My first BBK I put them on the wrong bolts and ended up with oil seepage, which cost me a new gasket set to fix, and having to basically do the entire build over.
