We Built a Frankenstein Engine at Home – Will It Ever Run? S6 - EP 27

Video Description

This week on LR Time: We dig into the depths of our budget 2007 Land Rover Discovery 3 project — yes, that one. Remember the mystery engine block we found dumped in the trunk when we bought the car? Well, surprise! It had a crankshaft snapped clean in half, some serious rust, spun bearings, and even some mouse poop. But hey — why not rebuild it? Vera and I take on the lower end of this engine with full confidence and a lot of improvisation. From backyard line boring to a bit of DIY bearing gallery honing, we show just how far you can go in your home garage when you don’t want to give up on a dead Land Rover engine. This is not a job for the faint-hearted. If you skip the right steps in a build like this, you're just signing up for failure. We don’t want that. So in this episode, it’s all about precision, persistence, and progress — even if it smells like rust and regret. We’re now a few steps closer to creating a true Frankenstein Engine. Will it ever run again? Nobody knows. But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be one hell of a ride. 👉 If you want to leave a donation to support our channel: https://paypal.me/LRTime 👉 Become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LRTime 👉 Check out our merch shop: https://www.shirtee.com/de/store/lrtime/ Disclaimer: We are not liable for any harm you may do to your car, engine, surroundings, or yourself.
