Episode synopsis
Mark paints his rocker covers and sets the variable valve timing kit on his newly assembled engine. Mark fits his core plugs, before venturing to his bench to show how to correctly remove a broken stud. Attention is then turned to rebuilding the oil pump. The clutch and gearbox is fitted to the engine and then unites the newly fitted clutch and gearbox to the engine. Mark then takes the strain as he fits the rebuilt engine/gearbox combo into the rolling chassis.
About A 4x4 is Born
Watch and enjoy as Mark Evans turns an old rust-bucket Range Rover rescued from the scrap-heap and transforms it into the ultimate boulder-crawling beauty! When complete, Mark reckons the vehicle will virtually be able to climb a vertical wall! The extreme 3.5 litre, V8 powered, R380 gearboxed off-roader, custom built from scratch by Mark, also boasts some serious off-road kit, including: an outrageous hi-lift suspension system; a hand-made, one-off roll-cage & a specially modified twin-tank fuel system.
