Meridian Engine Services offers a full range of machining services to both the trade and public, specializing in Land Rover IOE engines although the later models are no problem either as we export 2.5TD's and TDi's to the USA.
You may think your series one runs well and that the rattles the engine makes are just part of its character but they shoudn't be there.
Whether its from wornout crankshaft bearings or tired small end bushes, its no problem, although the most common cause of noise and bad performance is a worn out camshaft and follower's due to low oil pressure and years of poor servicing. Plus the lack of poor quality oils.
Where new old stock parts are no longer available like some sizes of main bearings, we bore the bearings to suit the freshly reground crankshaft thus saving the crankshaft.
When refreshed they run almost silent at tick over and sound great on the road, usually letting you know your Over Drive is screaming.
