Its pretty straight forward really. Access to all of the bellhousing bolts is good. I would suggest removing the bolts prior to removing the gearbox mount at the rear. Dont forget all the usual bits like speedo cables and selector linkages etc. The usual one to forget is the kick down...

I have used a carbalancer before to good effect. I also rely heavily on and old length of rubber tube ( normally the heater overflow pipe ) which I place just at the mouth of the carb to simply listen to the air flow. By moving the tube from carb to carb you can hear any imbalance in the...

many years ago I had the lower ball joint drop out from the bottom of the o/s swivel pillar on my Dads 2200TC. I was turning around in a golf club car park at the time. As a result the pillar pushed back onto the bulkhead locking the road wheel. The frightening thing was just 2 minutes...

The Rover SD1 came with a diesel option. However your chances of finding such an engine in a breakers are remote. The Omega diesel uses a BMW 6 cylinder unit. Its a fine engine but probably to long for the P6. You may recall that Rover tried a straight six in the P6 (it was one and a half...

Ah, the old 5 speed SD1 conversion for the P6. I was one of the first to do the conversion. I did mine back in 1986. I believe the only other person to do it before me was Steve Evans, one time membership secretary. Unfortunately the "s" I converted was written off in 1989 by a complete...

A top end overhaul maybe beneficial. Not only would the build up of carbon deposits raise the compression but it could also cause pre ignition through the deposits becoming incandescant. Have you removed a 4 cyl head before ? If not be careful to lock the crank using the pin located at the...

One other point to bear in mind is the mileage of the car. If its high you might have a build up of carbon in the combustion chambers which will raise the compression ratio and thus contribute to pinking.

Changing the subject slightly. Many moons ago I was looking at fitting an Alfa Romeo twin cam into my S1. The alfa had a 5 speed transaxle and best of all de dion rear suspension meaning that the tranaxle could be installed in the P6 using all the Rover rear suspension with only the driveshafts...

Nitrous oxide is the way to go. Massive power hikes, very easy and cheap to install. My friend runs a mazda MX5 with a very modest 50 BHP kit. It cost in the region of £400. Bottle in the boot. two servos under the bonnet (it is a wet system, i.e. injects extra fuel as well ) and two nozzles...
