Re: Rv8 oil leak problems
I've always tried to make the sump gasket a 2 day job, fit a new gasket with a smear of RTV both sides and fit it with the screws finger tight, following day or overnight nip them up to desired torque, I've done loads of engines this way

Re: 3.9 v8 exhaust options
I ran carb, rover efi, and fast efi on it, but the exhaust never seemed to mind what I was doing ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/hahahaha.gif)

Re: 3.9 v8 exhaust options
I run the stock sd1 exhaust manifold, downpipes and Y piece on mine, welded on a 2" connector and a single jetex mid size box and straight out the back on the pop, sounded just right to me ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/cool.gif)

Re: Why they love the LS
I sold my 3.9 /zfhp22 on for £1500 and picked up a 5.3 L59/4l60e £3000 with ecu and dbw pedal. Bought some LS3 exhaust manifolds a lucky buy cam of ebay and ported the heads myself. HP Tuners for £300 as it only had 2 credits left, so all in with some more exhaust bits it came to under £2500 total c...

Re: Lambda LSU4.2 or 4.9?
I'm running a mtxl with no issues at all, I've run it for 200+ miles not connected, hooked up all the gear at santa pod and logged all the data I need and disconnected it, the Sensor lives in the pipe all the time, I wonder if installation close to the exhaust manifold helps keep the moisture of it ...
