Hi all, not posted on here for a while. However I am going to view a 50K mile 72 series 2 4 speed manual V8 next week. I have a 2200TC already so I know the p6 quite well, but not the V8 engine or manual box in v8 application.
What should I be looking in terms of making sure the engine is a good ‘un. What are good hot/cold oil pressures? Are there any noises I should listen out for specific to this engine? Can I assess condition from oil colour etc ? Common problems to look out for.
I know the 4 speed manual is weak but the one in this car is supposed to be good. What should I do to test this?
Thanks in advance
Pat
