Rover V8 cylinder heads (again?)
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2022 6:32 pm
I have done a search, I have found Coops thread on cylinder heads, so I've not just taken the easy, route, but I want to be sure I've got it right.
I have an MGB GT V8, 1975, which I think will have the pre-SD1 cylinder heads. SD1 heads are better, and I think Vitesse one are better still. This type then were fitted to various Range Rovers. Thereafter things become a bit more complicated. My question is, which is the type I need to use, and how do I identify them. What are the combustion chamber volumes on the different heads? (a lot of adverts just say a pair of Rover V8 cylinder heads), and most importantly am I going to get any benefit using them, as I don't imagine re-conditioning them properly is a cheap exercise.
