The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi and welcome, sounds like some interesting projects you have there! I'm sure someone who knows more will be along soon, but my guess would be that the m112 wouldn't have enough puff for a 7L lump. much more suited to the 3.5 RV8. and I know this particular blower has been successfuly fitted to rov...

I just messed myself a little!

welcome aboard bud, and if you drive that then I think you'll like it here.

I finally got some time in my den tonight so thought I'd start stripping down the heads ready for machining and cleaning. The exhaust valves came out no problems, but the Intakes were quite stiff and all needed a gentle tap or two to get going and then I could work them out once I could grip the val...

Showing my inexperience with RV8's again here, but are micro dynamics distributors and amplifiers any good? can't find any online reviews or stuff on here so my guess is not as no one seems to mention them. but I've been wrong before.....

Ramon,

I had failed to notice the link to the entire document and had just read the web page.
less haste more speed! I'm now all over it like a rash. today will be a fun day!

thanks for the comtinued help guys, I'll be picking up the new 'stat tomorrow and I've got a new rad cap to boot to make sure I get a good seal. I figure they're only cheap things and may well help. Ramon - love the pic! :lol: I'm going to try your tip tomorrow so I'll keep you posted Unstable load ...

looks awesome although I would say that I'm obviously looking forward to seeing this one evolve, and cant wait for the day when two near identical cars with near identical motors sit side by side her paints a LOT shinier than mine though. jealous, much? moi? never.......

thanks for all the advice guys, Over the last few days I have, in two stages so as to see what effects they give, firstly drilled 2 x 4.5mm hole through the 'stat and secondly made attempts to clear any air lock in the 'stat housing by parking on an uphill, then jacking up the front to add even more...

Hi All, I had a bout of overheating on weds on the old Cav, so parked her up and finally today set about finding what was up. to cut a long story short I reckoned the 'stat might be iffy so I whipped it out and did the old hang in a pan of water on the stove test. sure enough it started opening abou...

Good morning and welcome to the forum,
as a fellow newbie I can highly recommend this place!

now, where the pics?!!

I've had a bit of a leak in the Cav for a while now, as in every time it rains my rear footwells get waterlogged. not good, especialy with autumn/winter drawing on. I narrowed it down to "it must be coming through the bulkhead somewhere and draining to the back of the car" so I set about removing th...

actually 'd. A lot!! very good, and VERY true.

not working for me now either, how strange. I've just copied the link into google, hit search, the first result was the original site (surprise surprise), the second is this thread. If you click "cached" next to the first result it will show the page minus all its pictures and background, i.e. just ...

I found this tonight, very helpful for newbies like me!

is it OK to put this link up mods?

*edit* I realise now that this is in the wrong place, could a mod shift it for me please, very sorry!

more investigations (i.e. cleaning) of my carb reveals some more numbers, the most telling of which was "1404" and a few googles later and it seems I do indeed have an Eddy 1404, or as the UK market know it - a Weber 500. (bear with me, I'm learning as I go!) So, happy days! especially as I paid £15...
