The V8 Owners Forum -

Thanks for the infos guys.

The Kent will go back into a rebuilt 4.6 with 4.0 pistons.

We'll see how it goes on the dyno.

Hi, I need to identify 2 camshafts. Those 2 were found in 4.6 blocks and i believe they are not standard. One is marked CWC 18 with some red paint on the casting. http://www.heberger-image.fr/images/41042_IMG_6726.jpg.html http://www.heberger-image.fr/images/29331_IMG_6727.jpg.html http://www.heberg...

Ok thanks for the info.

Now i need to figure out what thickness i need.

I have a Eaton M90 blowing and 3 intercoolers...

Standard 1,2mm HG didn't get a chance...

Yes Cometic gasket. That's what i found but was not sure if good.

Looks like many ricers uses those in big Supras

Hello,

I'm looking for a headgasket to fit a 5.0 supercharged Rover V8.

It is a JE Engineering Range Rover P38.

The engine has 96mm forged pistons.

I only find standard for 94mm pistons.

You can get a drawing of the cam bearing tool here: http://www.cowdery.org.uk/downloads/V8-Cam-brg-tool.pdf I have a drilled and tapped hole in the centre of each piece so I can draw the bearings into place with a long piece of studding. Chris. Hello Chris, Great!! What kind of material do you reco...

Hi, While doing a head gasket job on my friend 5.0 Supercharged JE Engineering P38, i discovered that one of the camshaft bearings shifted ). I've seen plenty of a bearing kits and i guess i need a cam bearing tool. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GwCyMpK6GPo/T7wRrB_BkTI/AAAAAAAAAO4/wHkh02isBGk/s...

Hi,

A friend of mine bought a JE Engineering P38 and i have some questions.

I need to do full service on that car.

What kind of oil should we use?

JE recommends Castrol Magnatec.

Today i can only find 5W40 or 5w50, not sure it's a great idea in a old engine.

Thanks for your help.

I've readen both :

-a UK specialist advise 8mm for any V8 range rover
-a french specialist says all his +6.0 liters US trucks and even V12 bimmers run 6mm

chevy engine - yes!

I hope you'll fit a chevy engine in that p38 soon...

Of course , what i really need is a LS1 block under that P38 bonnet.

Hi,

I swapped a front end kit BRC Sequent 56 to replace my single point Landi Renzo.

Landi Renzo used 6mm copper but BRC uses 8 mm.

I used a diameter converter but i have some LPG cuts when i demand power.

Do you think i should replace all my lines to 8mm?

Thanks

Hi,

Before porting my inlet manifold and trumpet base, i'd like to know where i can buy 45 mm trumpets?

Thanks

Looks like i should buy a RHD Overfinch P38 and reverse engineering.
