Disco 3 tdv6 - Main bearings _ thrust washer
Hi
I'am restoring my tdV6
The car drove its selve in to the garage by the way:-)
Picture under shows the condition of the main bearings. The car has done 275 000km.
Does any overview of which main bearings are equipped with thrust washer? I am 99,99% sure that its the nr 4 bearing that has thrust washer.
When i tok the crankshaft out there was only 3 thrust washer mounted to the nr 4, and I can't remember which of the four sidees of nr 4 that was missing one washer..
Can some one please help:-)
PS!
Also the new main bearing came With ONLYs 3 thrust washer..

Oh yes;/)
The TDV6 has obviously some issues with the nr. 2 and 3 bearings/shells. Probably unbalance somewhere...
Changing the harmonic balancer and putting on a new TQ. Can't see anything wrong with the balancer, but it's a cheap part. The TQ is causing "judder", so perhaps that is one of the reason that the shells are so bad...
It's in my head strange that it's only the lower shells that has suffered damage. The upper ones look just like new..
Perhaps its a harder life for the lower ones?
The disco has a complete service book...

I'd like to hear a bit more on this
What triggered the restoration? Which parts are you replacing? Body off?
