LR3/Disco 3
The crankshaft is forged steel and fillet rolled with induction hardened journals, which run in four bearings with clamped
two layer bearing shells.
The main bearing caps are double and cross-bolted, this adds to the strength and rigidity of the engine block.
The crankshaft drive pulley is not keyed onto the crankshaft; it is secured to the crankshaft by a single bolt.
NOTE :
NOTE :
The crankshaft rear oil seal is a press fit in the rear oil seal retainer. The rear oil seal retainer also houses the CKP
sensor.
Under no circumstances must the crankshaft pulley be tightened or loosened with the timing belt fitted.
Do not attempt to remove the crankshaft drive pulley unless you have the correct special crankshaft-locking tool.
