Hello looking for a bit of guidance here, today I stripped down the 4.6 gems engine I brought to rebuild and fit in my tvr wedge eventually I was intending on fitting top hat liners as I read they can slip the old ones however now it's in bits it doesn't have liners fitted so is there any benefit from fitting them I intend to up the compression to 10.5 to 11:1 and fit a fast road cam it already is running canems ignition with slightly larger injectors.
What hp should it realise anything over 250 would be nice.
Rover V8 4.6 fit top hats or not

Go for top hats.
Liner slippage on 4.6 engines is well known especially if it’s been overheated and top hats don’t slip.
When rebuilding my 4.6 they’re what I used.
