Anyone haa a P6 timing cover disintergrate due to cavitation from the water pump? At high rpm, the impellor creates small bubbles that wear away the surface of the alloy until it becomes so thin it crack/leaks; it looks like its like highly polished corrosion. Below is picture of a Range...

I am looking at JR Wadhams P6 ignition spares and see two sets of parts, one for pre '72, one for after. Why? What happened in 1972? Can anyone date my engine, 48112319D. But more to the point, which distributor cap should I fit - I have RR (blue) since that is what Halfords sell but I know...

I may have asked this before although the search has not picked it up. After fitting my new SD1 heads and cam, I fitted a Tim vacuum guage to the manifold - there are 2 bosses one used for brake servo, other was blocked off. Anyway, I am seeing too low a vacuum i.e. there is less vacuum than...

someone I know is looking for a v8 thermostat housing,for cheap; this points straight ahead and does not have any extra outlets.

Wondering what your vacuum guage shows at idle. I have TIM guage fitted on to the inled manifold and it reads higher (i.e. less vacuum than it should have). Only possible reason is air leak but I have not been able to find one so maybe the guage is out or the vacuum is how it should be.

I have v8 P6 engine fitted to a land rover series 3 with the LR radiator and am having difficulty getting hoses from thermostat/water pump to radiator. I am posting picture here in case anyone recognises them as being P6; I suspect they are not. this is thermostat to radiator top; paper...

I am replacingthe timing cover and oil pump from my engine with those from SD1. I have Haynes manual for P6, Rover 3500 and Range Rover, but the oil pump does not match any of those in the manuals (well it wouldn't match the last 2). The main difference is my filter hangs vertically...

errr ... Hello! Most likely I'll be hanging round this forum as I have a 3.5l Rover V8 from a P6 in my LandRover Lightweight. :D Looks a bit like this:

terms I am using; all refer to HIF carb ======================== piston - alloy cylinder with skirt, at the base of whcih is the needle. It moves up and down in the vacuum chamber to meter the fuel. piston rod - hardened steel stube fittied inside the piston; its base is sealed to hold oil...
