Re: 4.6 con rods. Should they be blue at the wrist pin end?
Sorry not following this thread - on a 4.0/4.6 the conrod does not grab the gudgeon pin as moves freely on the gudgeon - the bearing is in the little end and the little end moves around the gudgeon pin. The gudgeon pin is fixed into the piston, is an interference fit and does not move - hence the r...

Re: 4.6 con rods. Should they be blue at the wrist pin end?
They're not heated until a dull red, just until they go blue. Then you put them into place and push the gudgeon pin in. You do need to get it in the right place really quick as the conrod will 'grab' the pin within a couple of seconds.

Re: RV8 4.6 Rod Bolts. Stretch or not?
I have just rebuilt my 4.0 Rover engine and discussed this issue with a V8 specialist who informed me that they will re-use these stretch bolts once but just do them up to 65NM (48 lb/ft). Don't try to stretch them again.

Re: Initial cam setting
I literally cannot find any question similar to this. But when inserting a cam shaft into any v8 block and before adding the cam gear how are you supposed to know what way the cam goes in? What general direction should cylinder one cam lobesbe placed? Everyone talks about degreeing the camshaft but...

Re: Suggestion for parts suppliers please.
I've been dealing with V8D and they seem to be very knowledgeable, easy to get hold of, phone back when they say they will, and listen to the question before answering it (Some of you may know what I mean by this )
I am currently rebuilding my 4.0L and am very happy with their service

Re: jag Dana 44 Trac loc plates from?
I don't know if this would be of any help, but I have just had my Powerlock diff rebuilt by a company called 'All Gears' in Worksop.
Might be worth a call

Re: Warrior
Thank you Rossco, will heed that :) Hi Dave, the original diff was wearing rather badly and showing signs of giving up, so I shoehorned an XJS one in there, that should handle it ok Who else is there to get a quote from? I can't really get on with RPI, and don't know anyone else. I am looking at oth...
