Re: Ring gaps 4.6 v8 1 bar of boost
Thanks mate. Was a bit concerned. All built now and waiting for a day off to come so I can fit it!

Re: Ring gaps 4.6 v8 1 bar of boost
Thanks for that. Have gone with 0.025" top ring and 0.032" second ring as reccomended by Allan (rossco). It was a bit strange that the gaps were so big in the first place I wasn't sure whether to leave them be or not. Maybe the material is slightly more expansive when hot.

Re: Ring gaps 4.6 v8 1 bar of boost
The strange thing is I have put the top ring in the bore and the gap was 0.55mm which is nearly 22 thou which is already quite large when referenced to the manual. The upper limit in the manual is 20 thou. I want it to be safe but at the same time not go through more oil than fuel!

Ring gaps 4.6 v8 1 bar of boost
Hi guys,
I'm struggling with this part of the engine build as it seems there is definitive answer. I have a standard bore with Goetze rings. What gap would you recommend? We are aiming for around 400hp
Thanks in advance.

Thor 5.0?
Hi all,
I'm in two minds whether to build a 4.6 in my discovery 2 or a 5.0. My question is that would a Thor inlet manifold be able to cope with 5 litres? Or a modified version of it? I would like to think it would be able to give a lot of torque maybe 350 lb ft? Has anyone done it?

I have just looked at real steels catalogue and seen that. I need to build an engine regardless as I think I'm starting to get slipping liners. I would only like to build the engine once if I can help it, so I'd rather go big from the off if that's what it takes. My goal is to try and make it have t...

Yeah I was aware of mark Adams/tornado systems. Was probably going to go down that road when it's completed anyway to ensure all feeling is right etc. Am I better of spending money just increasing the capacity further? To 5 litres using striker crank? I have seen real steels 5.0 and it looks impress...
