I will try to contact them and get some information's about the dimensions of the bearings.
And I have organized a small camera. I will try to find some numbers on the engine block.
Feels like a Tv-show .............CSI-main bearings

Imho, forget ali as a reliable data source!
They just copy text, most of the time not knowing where they talking about..
3.0 shell data is like this:

As I mentioned earlier LR state the numbers are stamped into the block behind each cylinder bank (LR manual)
However a trawl has also revealed this, so it may be easier to get to via the R/H/F wheel well. Or from the underside with the belly pan removed!

The flat machined surface you see in the exploded image above is directly behind the R/H engine mount! I have never had the need to look for it but the number should be visible just behind the starter if the above is correct. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

OK....I found some numbers.
they are really hard to find.
The number on the intake manifold:

01549/2276DT
on the indicated flat surface:
Click image to enlarge
250617542
a little bit above and on the left of this area
Click image to enlarge
B14070261
but how to connect these numbers to my car?
The plate on the intake manifold indicates the 276DT engine.....but I guess this plate would have moved to this engine to

only :
276DT
nothing more
I found that the number should look like this: (just a picture from the net)

it seems that the number got not punged into the block

That's a 3.0 D4 but it looks like the data is missing from your engine block. Can you get the camera down past the crossover pipe at the back of the engine to see what's there?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Couldn't see anything back there. but its pretty cramped, maybe I missed something. do you have a more detailed position where I should look?
what things did change on the newer blocks?
-the bearing bore diameter from 74,98mm to 75,030mm?
-anything else I could check?
The new FAI bearings are thinner than the old, so I will not use them.....
The King bearings seems to match the wallthickness better, but they are for the bigger bore of 75,03mm.
If I use them in an engine with only 74,98mm bore I would have around 0,18mm more "crush/tension" to them.

I removed the new oilpump to see at the front bearing.
I dont have the equippment to measure the diameter accuratly.
But I think I already found what I was searching for.
I already installed the FAI bearings to the engine before I found out about the different crankshaft.
As I said above, there are bearing for 74,98mm bore (FAI) and 75,03mm (KING)
When you calculate the arc length of a half circle you will find a difference of around 0,1mm
When you look at my front bearing you will see that the parting line of the bearing doesn't fit to to the parting line of the block.
So I would say that the FAI bearing ist to small, and the block has the big bore for the 75,03mm bearings.
any objections?

Hi
short update.
I changed the bearings to the King Bearings....it seems they fit better. I'm still at the reassembling, I guess I can do a first startup by tomorrow.
What I found during the disassembling Is a code on the Front of the crankshaft. It looks like a manufacturing date and time:
Click image to enlarge
7011 010714 0248 ............. 010714 03:30
Is this possible?
I'm sure I saw something about a "size-code" printed on the crank somewhere here on the forum, but couldn't find it. But as far as I remember the size code is on the back of the crank and not on the front.
best regards

It would appear as I said earlier that it's either a later engine (short block) or it's had a new crank at some point, again the later 09> with the M16 pulley bolt.
Does the crank have Land Rover stamped/engraved/forged into it or a QR code?
There are some crank ID images posted in various threads throughout the forum, but it might not be easy to find exactly what you're looking for. There are some marking images in this thread about half way down the page.
