Thanks Col. Definitely nice to have it going properly again. Driving around town tonight and still no sign of the noise, so seems to be fixed. Hard to really know why mine needed the fix and most don't.

Really spoilt here with parts and labour. All up it cost me 1100 SR (about 300 dollars) for all the parts including gaskets, timing chain, tensioner, full synthetic oil, bottom radiator tank repair, coolant, etc. It was slightly less than that for the labour costs (1000 SR). Given that he took the top off (as per the photos), put it back together and then repeated the procedure, but pulled the whole front off to change the chain (including main pulley, etc.) I think I've done really well (would have spent more than 2 days full on it I think). Finding this guy was a real win as he seem competent, but very genuine and wants to do the right thing. My friend who has a Land Rover found him.

The rev limit thing is not a common or desired outcome, but it has happened a few times, especially if someone just made it up somewhere and you've missed it a few times!! Nice thing really that they at least put in some protection from over enthusiastic people like me! Hard for them to protect you against some of the unexpected suspension bottoming that happens sometimes (what goes up must come down).

They are a tough truck and I really enjoy having mine. Next on the list is to get around to having the same guy help me put the Spartan locker in the front. Want to participate in that one so that I learn something along the way.
