Ok so what’s that engine block from ? I thought the tdv6 wasn’t tabbed ? Or have you had it done ? Sorry but your thread is a bit cryptic. Jarrod

Doesn’t look tabbed. It is definitely tabbed but is it a tdv6 block that’s the burning question. Family friend has an old school engine works not far from us, bumped into him the other day but didn’t get a chance to raise the issue. I’ll go see him in the new year and have a chinwag about it.Jarrod

The latter tdv6 used in D4 were modified to have tabbed bearings. Cannot remember the year but 2012 springs to mind. I managed to get the newer bearings and modified the housings to accept the tabbed bearings.

The 2 top pictures are very different blocks with the only similarity being the number of cylinders.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Definitely different blocks (first 2 pics) but from the same 'family' of engines - 4 main bolts and 2 minor bolts to the Mains caps.
Also there is a gap on the bottom block where the main cap sits, but no gap on top block.
