Re: Rover V8 clutch plate diameter

If the flywheel has the same measures, it should only be a matter of finding a small enough clutch cover.

Which make / model are you using?

Re: Rover V8 clutch plate diameter

I can answer this topic myself, just borrowed a spare clutch cover from a friend of mine. Th cover is much bigger and no, it will not fit the SD1 Bellhousing. It only fits the Range Rover long Bellhousing. Sad news, this flywheel has just been weight reduced and balanced. Money spend for nothing, di...

Rover V8 clutch plate diameter

Hi, More troubles, I was about to order a new disc for my Rover V8 engine (almost finished). I've got a complete rebuild LT77 box and seems like they use 240 mm clutch plate in the SD1 (D suffix gearbox). Unfortunately, I've just found out, my clutch and clutch cover is 266 mm. After some resource o...

SD1 LT77 D bearing number

Hi, I'm currently rebuilding a Rover V8 SD1 suffix D gearbox. All work is done but I can not find the bearing part number for the main shaft output. It is a classic roller bearing (not split bearing). The metric size is 27,5mm x 55mm X 11mm. This is an imperial bearing. Can someone translate this in...

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

I would like to know someone who did tested downdraught versus DCOE on a medium or full tuned Rover V8. That would be interesting data.

Hope someone ever done this.

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

From experiences with Pinto (and end few other) engine I do know this sharp turn send the air flow to the bottom of the inlet track. In a Pinto it means 160 Bhp with IDF and the same engine can make 175 - 180 Bhp. Nothing to do with the fact it is an IDF, it's the shape of the manifold. I've never t...

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

I can not compare with dyno numbers but the manifold I got is the one in this link. I don't think you can find anything better.

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

IDF manifold is no restriction on a RV8 - it's only a 45 bend on an RV8 not a 90 degree bend as on a Pinto - DCOE Manifold is a 135 bend with the swan neck types. Correctly ported the IDF manifolds are about the best you can get for the RV8. The inlet manifold I got in the workshop for DCOE is an a...

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

Setting them up correct is not an issue here, it's my daily job. Only wondering where the max would be for this basic engine. BTW, from the look at both inlet manifolds, I feel the quad DCOE manifold is better for power. The IDF style makes a very short turn and seems to draw air in the wrong direct...

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

From my calculation, I'll get 9,75/1 when I fit 4,0 ltr pistons. I've calculated somewhere but can't remember exact, with thin gasket little over 10/1 and I feel about the max for this engine with fast road cams. I was hoping round 260 Bhp and seems like most agree. On the other side, I was in the s...

Re: 4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

Thanks for the replay. I'm aware of the fact these heads are the one that hold down the power. The idea was, how far I can go without spending a lot money on the heads (and still, will never be super heads). Until now the block is almost stock, did not cost a fortune. The quad set, I already have, a...

4,6 Ltr with quad Weber power output

Hi to all, Maybe a silly question but I have never dyno tested any tuned Rover V8, only 1 standard 4,6 Ltr (Megasquirt ECU). So, I still try to get an idea what kind of power I can expect from the following setup. Hoping some have approx the same spec. 4,6 Ltr, high compression pistons from the 4,0 ...

Thanks for the replay. I thought they where not longer in business. Send them an email once but never had a response.

Will try to call them. I'm thinking about ordering the Rover V8 TKO600 gearbox kit. There gearboxes are not bad priced.

Anyone using this gearbox?

Roadcraft

Hi,

Does anyone know this company named Roadcraft in England?

They sell a complete Tremec TKO 600 gearbox kit for the Rover V8. Anyone bought this kit or anything else from this company? Are they reliable?

thanks in advance

Dirk
