Lovin the rusty content, hope there is a part 3,4,5,6 etc.

[@PenguinMotors]

Thanks for sharing. Really well explained.

Looking forward to how this develops. Thanks for sharing and assisting others .

Always been interested in the Rover V8 ( aka Buick 215) . Watching your various videos, you've shared a wealth of knowledge and mechanical experience. It would seem that used Rover V8's are exactly that. . . Used. Still an awesome little engine though 😊👍

[@PenguinMotors]

Yes they are, and they hide wear really well, just because they run and sound ok doesn’t mean they are not completely worn out

[@torbjornpaulson7520]

Thanks for the masterclass

[@g0fvt]

It is a scary prospect, very easy for me to sit here spending someone else's money. Good luck with that phone call!

[@twin40dave]

Can't wait for part 3 😁 😁

[@TechOne7671]

Hopefully we will get to see it on the dyno.

[@PenguinMotors]

thats the plan

[@TD16V]

Wow, what numpty built this the last time? That’s crazy!

[@michaelnoyes4817]

Merry Christmas mate

[@stuartburgess2409]

Yes definitely, let's see how it comes together properly if the owner hasn't had a meltdown in the meantime.

[@PenguinMotors]

He got a surprise! But after stretching the budget we are going to be able to rebuild it without too much corner cutting

[@stuartburgess2409]

@@PenguinMotors great news it'll be a great series to watch as it all comes together !

[@paulriggers1558]

another master-class, thankyou i've been keeping my running, but worn -out 75 RR 3.5 engine, is it just rubbish, or is there any value in it that you know of ?

[@PenguinMotors]

It’s not got much in the way of value, if you’re going to buy one it makes more sense to buy a later or bigger capacity. But that said it can still be tuned or converted to a 3.9

[@paulriggers1558]

@@PenguinMotors i went the cheaper/ more economic / more powerful option, 4.2l 32v 300bhp stype, pray for my axles...

[@PenguinMotors]

yes unfortunately these days the V8 rover is only a viable option for power increases where you are trying to retain originality, or your looking for a "period" correct engine

[@paulriggers1558]

@@PenguinMotors historic vehicle status allows updates to improve emissions. this jag engine was used for about 1yr in the new rangerovers, so, we have a petrol, V8, 4.2, rangerover engine. period correct ? close enough -DVLA happy. thanks for your replys

[@richardjackson5380]

Which incompetent put this engine together?

[@PenguinMotors]

Dont know, but almost certainly its a DIY home rebuild, the thing is you dont know what you dont know!

[@bjornleijnegard1884]

What type of dyno do you use?

[@PenguinMotors]

Superflow 901
