I did think about that but I am running out of money for the rebuild, I just wondered about something I could just paint/spray on that is not just going to dissolve or worse still block up the internal channels. Galv would be a good option though it could mean drilling out the bolt holes after...

Hi, this may be a ridiculous question but is there anything I can protect the inside of my new engine side plates with or will it just get stripped off by hot antifreeze and spread into cooling system and block up all the small water ways ?

Hi, they are for sale States side and listed as Rover 2000 std bearings with that number. I am after some mains for my 2200TC motor and wondered if these are the ones I need (I have seen different part numbers for mains). Cheers.

Hello, does anyone with a parts book know what Vandervell VP967 bearings are for? I can’t find any information online at all. Thanks Steve.

Hi again, I have some big end bearings arriving any time now but still looking for a set of mains. Is VP967 the right part no fir the mains in a 2200TC? They are Vandervell bearings. Cheers Steve.

Hi, ok thanks. Can you tell from my engine n.o. The age of my motor? It's, 49105939A. The engine is going into my old Land Rover so I have never seen the car it came out of.

Without breaking the fast dwindling budget I have for this rebuild, where can I get hold of these items? Any...

Just bit the bullet and bought two genuine plates with gaskets from eBay. Thanks.

Hi, we have got the head off my 2200TC and there is a bit of a ridge at the top where the piston stops. Some of this is carbon build up but not all and. Is this too much of a problem? The mileage is unknown. The rest of the engine looks in great condition. What would be your advice be on the...

Hi that would be great, thanks.

Just had an email from Wins and they have sold out of both sides!

Ok thanks.

Hi, need both sides. I put a hole in one so the other can't be far behind. May as well do both now as the motor is on a stand getting stripped down. Cheers Steve.

Hi, after putting a screwdriver through one of my side plates while trying to scrape off the rust on the inside, I need to replace both. Has anyone had any experience with reproduction ones? Wadhams have a repro one at less than half the price of a genuine one. I am on a proper budget rebuilding...

Ok UNF it is then. Ta.
