Replacement cylinder head, new pistons, piston rings, new big end and main bearings..... should I be thinking about a replacement engine?.....georgecook

georgecook said:The big ends show numbers on both halves of 530536 which is similar to other Rover numbers, but I couldn't see a comparison in the Rover Parts Book. Each half also showed what I believe are vandervell numbers of 4600B...No sizes are shown. georgecook
j_radcliffe said:Harvey, if your reading this, my January 74 Rover 2200 parts book shows a different part number for rod bearings for 2200 automatic models versus the sc/tc models. The part number for con rod is the same. Was there a difference in the journal size for the con rods in 2200 automatic models?

suffolkpete said:Strange, I have the January 1974 parts book and it only shows one number. I assume that by "con-rod bearings" you mean what we call big ends this side of the pond. The auto and manual crankshafts have different part numbers as Harvey suggests and they are listed as standard and undersizes down to .040" and I think this where your confusion arises. Look at the next page at the con-rod.

Hi George
Can I ask where you got your standard size big end bearings from? It's a job I need to do soon and I'm struggling to source some at a reasonable price. I have a set of standard size mains, but the big ends are proving rather elusive.
Thanks
Dave

However the part number does not confirm what they are. A bearing count would, plus a measurement of the diameter.
