And I'll add one more question.
Did they "approve" the putty fix originally? Amazing that this supposed high dollar quality vehicle is already completely apart and isn't two years old yet. They are just "keeping up with the Jones' vehicles anyway.

from this visit including pulling the trans probably 10 or 11 hours
I get paid hourly, i believe the job pays total like 16 hours but will confirm that later
We got it approved before we yanked it out, so they dont need to know how i did it
yes they recommended the aluminum putty fix 3 times before they recommended the engine swap

I spent probably around 5 hours of actual time with the car today
Here's today progress:
True crate engine
Swapping over front accessories, headers and engine mount brackets

Well, I don't think they are moving the operation to a brand new factory in China to build them worse, do you?
If you think Chinese and Indians are incapable of making cars as well as Americans or English, you need to remember we used to say the same thing about the Japanese less than 40 years ago.

Starting to look like an engine bay again
Land Rover approved engine lifting bar, and old engine getting boxed back up
Got everything finished under the car, just need to put the bumpers and lights back on
Tada!!
And as a treat, I shot a video of it this morning with open exhaust manifolds. 5.0L hear me rawrrrr
