Brace yourself Rodney :)

Post a pic, love to see it

I fitted a Wide Band one to Sparky as I couldn't get the weber just right. Gave up in the end and went to Fuel Injection. It is very useful when tuning the EFI.

1, 3, 6, and 8 are the exhaust valves.

In my opinion, the drill method is the best, and easiest. If that doesn't work, then packed the oil pump with Vaseline and use the drill again.

No problem, it's always been a bit of a grey area so that should sort it without diluting the Classic Roverness of the Forum. Richard

We seem to be getting a few of these other marques, but this is a classic Rover forum :hmm: so how about a sub section to the members projects? This thread is in it now :)

I thought it was so you could turn it to get the big gap at the bottom, so when you tipped the engine back to remove the gearbox, it didn't take a chunk out of the radiator. I may have made that up :hmm:

Can you put the asking price on and is the car in South London?

Not sure of their name, but they are 14" SD1 alloys. It's best to get the SD1 studs, nuts and grease caps if you can. Studs, and SD1 nuts are M12 1.5 Richard

It's sitting in petrol so even the tiniest perforation can, over time, allow petrol in. If you leave it out for the same period of time, it will come out. Welcome to the forum BTW :)

That'll do it :)

You need to check that the pipe coming out of the tower is clear, all the way through to the inside of the tower, not just the hose.

There's MH Annable but they're about an hour away in Derby.

Oh dear, that doesn't look like a whole load of fun. I have a 4L cross bolted engine but it uses an SD1 front cover and oil pump so it just fits the same as the 3.5. Best of luck stripping it down :)
