So, we had all day Sunday building the engine back up. By 5PM engine was complete with the exception of the flywheel and reluctor ring as it needed to come off the engine stand to get access to the rear end.

Monday morning (well actually a 10:30 start as had to pop into work first) & fitted the reluctor ring with the JLR tool and fitted the flywheel, locked it in place with the locking tool and torqued up. Final item was front crankshaft bolt, that's proper, proper tight!

Dragged it out of the garage towards it's home. (note the JLR patented bonnet stay Laughing)

Engine went back in very smoothly, just needs a careful bit of manouvering and keeping a close eye on the r/h/s turbo actuator as it sails very close by to the diff on it's journey home.

Started to then plumb it back in whilst my buddy was underneath taking care of bellhousing, starter motor & exhaust etc.

By 5pm we had it all back together with the exception of the front slam panel and all associated parts. So, with the intercoolers dangling on their hoses and a cable tied-in-place expnsion tank, we filled the coolant (approx. 12 litres) and 11.5 liters of Castrol Edge C1 5w-30, got the jump leads on it and cranked it over...... L405 SV Autobiography LWB SDV8, finished in Aston Martin China Grey by ETO division.

Here's a list of the 'special tooling' required to complete the rebuild, whilst some are probably not critical, I'd prefer to go by the book, then when it doesn't work, I can hand on heart say I've done my absolute best!

Laser 7676 TDV8 Timing tool set
JLR-310-246 F.I.P. Timing Tool
JLR-310-248 Guide Pins F.I.P.
JLR-310-247 Setting Tool F.I.P.
303-1244 Aligner Cam Cover
303-1237 Installer - CKP Sensor
303-1121 Front Seal Installer
303-1122 Front Seal Sleeve

I'll probably keep hold of all the tooling so if anyone in the future ever needs a loan of it, I'm sure we can sort something out. L405 SV Autobiography LWB SDV8, finished in Aston Martin China Grey by ETO division.

Just to close this out, 2 thousand miles in and running perfectly!
Keeping my fingers crossed that's it's going to behave this time!

I find myself in a very similar position with a 2012 L322 4.4 TDV8 .. I'm going to pull the engine to inspect what has actually failed but i might be your first " Please can i hire you tools " customer .. Pray for me

If you need any info or have any queries, happy to help. If you decide to rebuild, we can sort out the tool hire. I've also a spare block, rods and pistons, but lets hope it doesn't come to that! L405 SV Autobiography LWB SDV8, finished in Aston Martin China Grey by ETO division.
