whole car shakes, upon opening the bonnet you can see the engine moving a good inch on its bottom mounts. sounds like a diesel at tickover (900), but runs fine above 1000 revs.

its for and aft movement, i.e. transverse relative to the block...

ive access to an engine crane and could take the weight of the block whilst changing the lower mounts, but wondered if anyone else has had similar?

2.0 uk spec engine.

ta.

Sounds like the pistons are a bit wobbly. Not sure how this would happen though!

Has the car been driven in higher gears prematurely and caused the pistons to distort?

I'm probably going off on a wild one there though, more likely a fuel problem eh...?

just found the cause, I'll post pictures tomorrow.

head gasket gone, i undid the header tank cap and it had pressurised,, filled it up again and ran her withthe top off...problem disapeared...so shes sorned now and got the intake and cam ocvers off plus exhaust manifild loose.

intake manifold/throttle body coming off tomorrow..

dropped the water out the rad......it were ornage...nont rust stained...Orange!

Glad you found the cause, probably a speed record for diagnosis!

Have fun with the repairs and the pics will be great!

anyone know if the 2.0 litre and 2.2 (America only) head gaskets are the same?

si.

It would be logical to say that they are different as the cylinders should be larger on the 2.2.

But then again....

I would try and source a gasket for a 2.0 to be sure to be sure!

depends if the difference is in bore or stroke, some of the Jap stuff (i also run a skyline) has different displacement with same head gasket.

bingo!

well heres the pictures as promised....

already had all the intake gubbins off, so

1 up on ramps..

2 cam cover and exhaust manifold off ..was blowing from number 1 cylinder as stud missing ...


3 parts storage...the its offcial! leganzas boot can take a whole engine! (almost)

4 throttle body off today, and the offside engine mount cleaned up ...(have to take this off to get at the cam belt and cover...plus remove the serpentine belt ...
lots of oil inthe intake and scarring

5 supporting the engine..on a jack and witha handy piece of angle..


also undone the fuel rail. (still got to take out injectors and the like so i can get to the manifold bolts.

spanner-ing over for the next two days as i gotta stay clean for the day job..(nurse)

Looks nice and dirty in the old engine bay!

How many miles has your Leganza covered, it looks like its had a hard life!

just over the 100 000miles....like literally ...!

well this is turning inot a bit of a "how too" thread for anyone else who like doing the spannering.

cam belt off today....and interestingly the main crank pulley is in two parts. is this "normal" looks like some kind of rubber between the innet and outter?

1 camshafts now out, and the camshaft gears off.

need to get into here..

..the conections for the injectors toremove the fuel rail, then unbolt the inlet manifold. under this ...

also found the power steering fluids seen better days .....

and just for interest ..heres "my" car ....the skyline as mentioned before

i'll post up the pics of cleaned up stuff as i get on....


also need to get the ignition coil off, but gotta move the header tank first.

apparently the gm/daewoo engine in 2.0 was also known as the L34...

it sounds like i "may2 be able to fit a c20xe "red top" head to the block, as all the c20 blocks were the same apart from the turbo variant...

handy to know if i find the heads knackered! (though i doubt it)

Sounds like quite an adventure, thank you for the updates.

Pop a NOS kit in the Leganza if you've gone this far!
