Crossbolt torque, a spacer and shims

Post by Paul V8 »

Does anyone know the torque of the cross bolts for a rover?

Might be a strange question, I brought a new 4.0 litre engine, with it came a spacer, where does it go, using a old sd1 engine for rest of pieces, told I'd need it.

Can I uses more than 1 rocker shim to get correct lifter preload?

Thanks

You can use more than one rocker shim if needed.

The torque settings you need are on the 4.6 torque settings down this page.

If you are using an SD1/P5/P6 type front pulley, then the spacer is probably to allow for the longer crank snout on the 4.0
