same here. 4.0 and 4.6 have smaller combustion chambers to keep same CR with comp gasket, but engine dimensions are the same. MEZ bloke says it on his site, all inlet manifolds are interchangeable.

I thought they only came in Cast Iron, might be wrong tho! wot an interestin fred :clap2:

that site's quality. Would you be interested in doing a one off (not for a landy)? Rear roll hoop thing for my Midget, I'm too tall for an off the shelf jobbie.

I'd love that TVR engine in my P6. howja do it, and was it easy but expensive or hard but cheap or hard and expensive? Bugger economy I want power! I'm liking the leccy/diesel hybrid plan. Will watch with great interest.

my wheel studs are nowhere near long enough for any kind of spacers. If the tread sticks out from the bodywork at all then you need arches. No tread can be visible from the top (wheels straight ahead obv)

aye, looks like the turbot is only driven by one exhaust, to me at least. Bellhousing looks wrong for a RWD setup as well. Bet it shifts tho, but I'd go for a supercharger :D

cheers :) It's running an SU so no oil bath, they did it inside (which was the issue LOL) It was nice and warm, and only just too bad, but VOSA were doing spot checks on the industrial estate (they had got 2 people when i smoked past) - they said if VOSA hadn't been there then it would may...

at the test? yeah it was, don't need a number, just an 'is it too smokey?' question. which it apparently was.

finally got round to taking the head off, pretty coked up but not too bad nick. micrometer's ran out of batterys but there's a feelable step at the top if the bore. oil in 4 fell in when taking it to bits...

thanks mate :) will see if it gets as far as a rebore, might be OK just with head rebuild :) will whip a piston out and check big ends and bore on one cylinder before lifting the engine out. if it needs it, it needs it, as you say, not expensive.

cheers James. it had an 11 mile trip to warm up nicely. Hadn't thought about unleaded seats - they hard to do? can get rebore for about 80 quid from a feller in Newcastle, just did dad's mini engine.

Evening all Just had the landy fail for the second time on smokey engine at idle and when revving from idle. Damn thing has passed on everything else, but not that, even with the addition of plenty "stop smoke" stuff for the retest. boo. It's worst when it's been idling for ages (like...

seeing as no-ones mentioned them, I've got Avon Rangemasters on mine and they work well for what I use it for, mostly on road but with off road trailer towing. Oh, they also look quite classic-y.

check he's put the correct weight in. Stick the weight of a 90 or a defender on a series brake force measurement and you're guaranteed a fail. Garage monkeys just click Land Rover on the machine and then it fails 'cos its trying to stop 2.5 tons not 1.2 A garage put a 1500 midget weight in...

should have 1 to 12V feed, 1 to earth and 1 to -ve side of coil

carbon fibre? blue lights? in a 'orrible brown P6? I say! LOL

wherdja get that from? I bought the cheapest one I could find off of eBay, it's a 4-6-8 switchable 32mm TIM one and cost about 30 quid. Wire it in like it says in the destructions and job's a goodun. Mine's on an SD1 engine. as said, comes off the coil -ve with a life feed off the fusebox...

There was a mental MGB V8 at Harewood hillclimb today doing genuine massive orange fiery backfires. Quality :)

don't have any :( Only got a heads up from Ed at frontline, as presumably James is on his honeymoon... Poor fella. Will add some when I get them. Cheers
