Thanks Dave! Unfortunately, I'm not too common with that UNF/UNC classification. Would 3/8" UNC be appropriate in diameter? But I've no idea what an assembly stator is. :D Sorry, this seems to be due to wrong translation word by word. How do you call in in English? engine rack? mounting rack? https:...

No idea, anyone?

Have bought the engine stand-alone. So no bolts available. I'd prefer to not damage the threads with improper screws.

Just a quick one:

Are the cylinder heads interchangeable from side to side or dedicated left/right castings?

Never done this by myself, even though I was employed with ZF in Saarbrücken, Germany. But 8HP45/70/90 were the only boxes I got my fingers on ;) From a theoretical point of view, I'd recommend to get a 4HP22 unit and change the so called "tower" for the 4HP24 internals. For uprating swap over the f...

Kent Cams? Which one to go for?

Hi all I´m currently rebuilding a Rover 4.2 V8 engine of a Range Rover Classic to be mated with an auto gearbox. I discovered Kent Cams products. Now I'm not sure, whether to go for H180 (smm. profile) or H200 camshaft (assymm. profile). H180 Applications Sports Torque Power Band 1000-4500 Cam Lift(...

How much effect would have the smaller combustion chambers (28cc) of the late engines? (when using the same head gasket)

Hi It's from a RRC. Head gaskets are tin already, so no easy improvement to be found here. Is there a thumb rule to estimate CR inrease after skimming? e.g. 0.1mm less means 0.1 more CR? If it's on composite head gaskets you could swap over to tin head gaskets. You'll pick up a full point of compres...
