The V8 Owners Forum -

Does anyone know if any suppliers produce and sell a weld in kit to baffle a RV8 sump.

I have a spare sump and was thinking of baffling it over winter.

I appreciate you can buy them ready and its not an easy thing to get right, hence the request for a weld in kit.....

I have just cured what I believe to have been a slipping liner on my 4.6.

It suddenly developed a heavy knock, checking the shells proved they were ok.
Stripped the engine completely and took the block down to Chesmans, where it was heated up, all the liners were checked and number 3 pulled ...

Just finishing the engine re-build and cannot find the info that came with the ARP flywheel bolts.


Can anyone tell me the correct torque for the flywheel bolts? (ARP)


Cheers


Oh , the sooner the better please.......

Does anyone know what the standard clearence from piston top to deck would be on a 4.6?

Assuming standard everything....

Disco 2 and P38 Range Rover heads.

Compression is set by the piston dish so without measuring them you can't tell.

As for cam again unless you can find a number then it could be anything.

Not saying that it's not a Griff engine but who told you it was a Griff engine and what proof did they ...

Can the oil cooler inlet/outlet ports just be blanked off?
Looking at the diagram in the manual it looks like the oil goes through the cooler first???

I have one of the steel billet flywheels from Rakeway waiting to go on my new engine.
Got the balance checked last week and the balancing guy said it was very good ,virtually balanced when I took it to him.

Rakeway are local to me and the guys there are very helpful.

I also have a fourwheel drive ...

Tim @ ACT will sell you the trumpets, not expensive either.

I have some waiting , just got to get the base machined now.
The trumpets have to be slightly angled to fit, I think about 10degrees.

Would be interested in porting info myself for the manifold.

SO need to check the actual port alignment first , then see how it lines up.

Cheers

All clear in my mind now.

I have sat the serp inlet manifold on the engine with no gasket, and the bolt holes dont line up, so I must assume that the ports dont either.

So as I see it I need to measure the measure the same point between the heads and then machine some off each face of the maniold.

Have to get measuring......

Does anyone know of a way to adapt a valley gasket for use with a block that has been decked?
Obviously the heads sit further down the V now.

Also, the new manifold needs to sit lower as the bolt holes dont line up(and therefore the ports), is there a way of calulating the amount required to be ...

Can anyone recommend a place to get an EFI inlet manifold ported?
It is a standard 4.6 inlet at the moment.

Any ideas of the average cost?

Cheers Chris , can get one made now!

Does anyone know the dimensions of the spacer that is required on a long nose crank to fit an earlier crank pulley?

Having some other bits made and want to get one of these made at the same time....

Thanks for that.


Can anyone else please confirm the arrows, dimples and cutouts?
