I have seen a w50 gearbox with the v8 bellhouseing already it's not that I want to avoid the LT77 it's that the LT77 that I have seen are vastly more expensive than the w50 with the bell housing flywheel and starter I was more wondering if the conversion is as straightforward with the w50 as it...

Anyone here know of any rover p6 with a v8 running a celica gearbox? I'm guessing it can be done rather simply just like the LT77 and the gearing should suit the rover v8 but was hopeful someome would have some information if it has been done before Thanks all

This picture helped so much thankyou I got everything back in and breaks going yesterday somehow it was much easier pulling the hoses back on than takeing them off though had to blow air thru the caliper to dislodge some rubber or something that ended up blocking it up buuuuut it's now all...

That was exactly the problem thankyou I ordered a proper one instead of eyeballing the size this time and all fit as it should...haven't seen a leak yet hopefully it stays that way

Thanks for that I have alot of thread left over with putting the hose into the metal pipe is this Normal? Or am I supposed to have a nut on there to but up against the pipe? This is all the thread left over once it's threaded tight is this correct?

I coated it in oil but it just won't fully push in even with rotation it feels like it's hitting a lip

I have completely removed the the locating screw I get it mostly in but then seems to get stuck about 5mm from being fully inside. Me and 2 others have tried to push it in with fingers or grips but nothing seems to move it I only removed the top hose could that be the issue?

So I got the barrel out and new Oring onto the barrel but when I go to place the barrel back inside I can't press it right the way in to where the screw will need to sit I need some kind of clamp or something to press the barrel back in? But no grips or anything will fit in the tight gap am I...

Can anyone give me an exploded diagram of the rear breaks? I have pulled off the hoses back there and kinda forgot what goes where and what gets the longer thread and what gets the shorter threaded size These are what I have the new and old hoses and the solid hose...I can't remember what side...

Thanks for that it got postponed have to wait till Monday to order in some orings... hopefully no nipping will occur its fiddly enough to do it once

I'm in wanganui

Found one thanks for that...I should have looked first Thanks for all your help

Thankyou for that! I'm pretty sure I follow what your saying I'll give this a shot Tomorow Also kinda a long shot put you wouldn't happen to know the size of the viton o-ring I will need do you?...just thought I could get it ahead of time and switch straight over

Do I need to remove the pipes or can I just undo the screw...(carefully)...then yank the arm off (also carefully) and get at the o-ring...so are the pipes all comeing off? Or just the screw and arm? Thanks

Oh really? So will I just remove the screw and yank the arm out? Throw another Oring in there then arm back in and screwing it back in?...or do I need to remove everything conecting it, then the screw, arm out...then the O-ring and reverse the process? What exactly is the process here...I'm...

It's a v8 so am I going to have to remove it? I think all the fuel has leaked already so may not need to plug

I have followed your advice and messaged the rover club here about parts and to see if they have any information I do feel it's a really long road ahead since every time I fix something another part is broken so I'll slowly just keep sinking money into the pit but I wanted to make sure I was...

Well now I need to decide if I stick with the 3.5 and use the mx5 gearbox or if I go for the 4.6 and use an auto There are full rebuild kits from rimmer bros if I buy the 9.35.1 rebuild kit this will change my 10.5.1 engine into a 9.35.1? Or I'm way off track? Rover V8 Full Engine Rebuild...

Thankyou for that!...how exactly do I get to the Oring? Do I need to remove it? Or I can do that well it's on? Thanks

I didn't know what section to put this under so it ended um in engines sorry if that's an inconvenience So I have found the reserve tap (I think that's what it is) to be leaking fuel can I fix this? Or do I need to buy a whole new part? And if I need a whole new part how do I even remove it...

Oh so with an auto I'm not likely to rip everything to bits? Maybe ill still look for that 4.6 then and just upgrade the auto transmission at some point but I'm still going to need the rover sd1 timeing cover? Have you done the sd1 timeing cover swap? Do I just need the cover and then the rover...

Yes I'm in NZ Only going to a 3.9 would mean I don't need to update the dif and everything like I would with a 4.6? The LT77 are rather expensive here when they do turn up but I'll keep looking are the other options like supra and r154 more trouble to use? If the 3.9 is low compression there...

It's a 1972 p6b with automatic transmission I'm pretty sure it's a bw35 when the dipstick is on the driver's side? I was mostly hopeing I could get better milage and so looking for what I should be changeing I suppose I should look for a 9.25.1 engine? I currently have the original 3.5 heads...

Thankyou for that info I'm really new to all this stuff and kinda winging it I got the engine to run but was running rough could be a bunch of different things as I have found out but one thing I read seems to suggest that changeing the heads to newer was good for the engine to have lower octane...

So I have a rover 3.5l v8 it's the 10.5.1cr motor I have read about people swapping the heads to sd1 heads so they can use unled fuel is this the same if I was to put rover 4.6 heads on? And will I need the 4.6 rockers or can I use my 3.5 rocker Assembly and push rods? I'm guessIng I will have...
