Hi guys we will soon be moving to Hawaii so I find my Rover is for sale , here in So Cal , close to Knott's Berry Farm in So Cal. I just rebuilt the engine with NOS pistons, sleeved block 010 over size, cranks is .010 under & beautifully ground & polished, she runs great , 1000 miles since the...

Since I bought my 67 2000TC the gas gauge has been broken, not moving at all so I did all the usual tests & the finger pointed to the sender, I tried to remove it from the tank but a previous owner had used black silicone on the locking ring so it was impossible to remove. I removed the tank &...

Wow I've been out here in California for 28 years & had forgotten how bad rust gets on old cars in the UK . I'm definitely spoiled my 67 TC has zero rust except where paint had chipped , good luck with the resto , it'll be a great car when done I love mine , I've been driving her every day since...

Cheers Vern I personally never mount a coil on it's side as the oil can be away from the coil in certain brands & the coil can overheat & fail so that will be being moved once the hood is mounted so I can find a decent spot .

Blimey how many Servo's do you need :) I'm glad to say mine stops good anyway although I've only done 10 miles to home , no freeway driving yet .I must say I'm having fun & enjoying my car .

Cheers Vern I have no idea all the parts are back where I found them 2 months ago. So far all i've needed to do was swap out the O ring on the reserve tank for a Viton one as it leaked over night . She drives like a dream , first 3 miles OK , bonnet is getting painted by our neighbors to match...

Being a Rover Novice but having been restoring cars for 30 years I went with just the engine removal , I lowered her back in on the hoist using the motor mounts for the strap , got her in place, jacked up the gearbox as high as possible, aligned the clutch & trans , it slipped right on the...

I finished putting the engine together & in & she's a runner , the chains & tensioners would be a good job for a gynecologist but I got there in the end :) I left the gearbox in the car & fitting the engine onto the trans was a doddle. Fired up , no problems, tomorrow it's the clutch slave & arm...

Thanks guys, I found the Crank Grinding Guru just around the corner from my workshop , all the bonneville & race car guys use him, It looks like chrome it's so perfect, The crank went in lovely last night after work , rods & pistons tonight.

I finally got my sleeved block & reground crank back from my local shops, I got .010 over NOS pistons & rings from Ebay UK , then got .010 under rods & Main bearings here in the States , for cheap off ebay .The crank is the best grind I have ever seen.
