Looking for 4.6 rebuild info

Post by Ranger jim »

Hey guys.
I finally found a 4.6 to swap into my Classic. It is a 97 4.6 out of a RR.
Now I have torn it down and check all the clearances; it looks like I can just polish the crank go with std Main and rod bearings. No problem here these are cheap.
I need to replace the cam to the old type for the dizzy I’m thinking of going with the Crower cam 50229 I believe this is correct. For lifters can I use the old school Buick ones in the range rover block part # 66050-16? Anyone use this cam with stock replacement springs?

Also I need the crank spacer so I can use the old v-belt pulley system anyone know how I can find one or specs to make one?
Thanks,

If you mean a spacer that goes on the end of the crank after the damper wheel so that nut can actually tighten down against something then I've just bought one from V8Tuner. It was 7 quid.

EDIT...I see that you are in the US, I guess the postage will cost a bit! I'll measure mine up when I get home and post up the dimensions.

Bad new on the spacer, I've just taken the damper of my 3.5 lump and tried it on my 4.6 crank along with the spacer and the darn spacer is too short!

Not much point in giving you its dimensions now!

More news on the spacer! It was too short because I did not have the timing gear on the crank! Doh.

The spacer is 35mm ID, 42mm OD, 22mm long. (if you were going to get one made I'd go for 45mm OD as it would be a bit stronger).
