If you are changing the thermostat at this time of year you should be fitting an 88C one.
I know, but I will be driving it a lot more in the summer so I am fitting the summer one. You never know, it might just help a little with overheating problems now that I have found that the three row rad my car was advertised with, is actually a standard two row, and as I found out yesterday an Auto one. :evil:
I have changed a few P6 engines in my time, but have never changed engine mounts with the engine in situ.
:shock:
What a job that was.
Firstly the ronnied mount in my previous post is actually intact, but has a packing washer under it, hence the gap. What is that all about? and it is a lot smaller than the original mount - anyone know (or would like to guess) why anyone would fit a smaller mount?
It also a little thinner, hence the packing washer I suppose. The NS mount doesn't have a packing washer though?
My best guess is that it is closer to the manifolds and the smaller one gives a bit more room. I will have to make up a heat shield for that.
Or.. There are two types of engine mount for the Rover P6 V8 and I have got the wrong one?
New mount is now in and looking good, although I havent put the nut on the underside yet - took three hours to get both the new ones in :?
