The right cam can make a lot of difference. my 4.0 race engine failed running a emerald ECU, so to get me running a put a standard 3.9 LR engine in, but with a 4.0 front end and inlet, and shortened trumpets. I was only getting about 180 BHP, but a camshaft change took this upto 225BHP with standard...

20 Mile Rings
Quite a while back my newly built 4.0 engine, had a camshaft failure after less than 20 miles. I've since re-used this block to make a 4.6. I've still got the old 4.6 block and all the 4.0 parts. So if I rebuilt this as a spare engine. could I re-use the rings, or would I have to fit new ones. I kno...

The comp valley gaskets are just tin ones with a nice coating on them. The coating itself does compress and makes a nice seal anyway. I've changed these at the track a few times and fitted them dry with no issues. Come to think of it. The last coated valley gasket was re-used 5 times and didnt leak...

My other Minor has one fitted :D In build just now: Very nice, not much original Moggi chassis on that though ;) small tip on original style pump if you fill via the pump housing via a funnel and run the dissy drive backwards it will suck the oil from the funnel, then remove and run forward and you...

I bet the rod ends are a bugger to get out eh? I was just looking at the bits and laid a rod next to a normal one when I saw the problem luckily. Good job I wasnt in "ooh I've got to get my new bits in asap" mode or I would have done the same as you. Regards Perry I got the ends of mine out and the...

Banana Plenum PCV
Does anyone know if the Banana Plenum throttle body has a PCV built in or do you need a separate one. Also does anyone know what flame trap is used. I'm only using the throttle body and rocker covers with a custom plenum, so never had all the bits. Also does it matter if you put the rockers on oppos...

Yep they do come out longer than required. I had mine trimmed at a machine shop to be the same length as standard rods with the adjustable ends fitted adjusted out by 1/4 inch. This left me with rods that I could adjust each way quite a bit. The end that gets trimmed also had to be slight bored to ...

Anyone Found the RS adjustable rods to be too long. I fitted a set to a 4.2 that had a lot of block skimmed. it was running 120 thou of Shims, and this was causing the rockers to wear/break up on the tips. So decided to fit new rockers and adjustable rods, but the rods with ends fitted was 8920 thou...
