rover v8 first start

Post by landybob_v8 »

how gutted am i

first start of the engine today with a rebuilt 3.5

oil relif valve seems to be stuck now

light went off first start then after i turned it over again the light stayed on

worst bit of all is the valley gaskets sprung a leak and its putting a puddle under the inlet manifold you can see it running out of the port next to cyl 2 at the front drivers side so that needs stripped

bonus is it runs

bit tight but it runs

strip it down again and THIS time it should be fine eh


v8's everywhere at least the one in the spare bedrooms gone now

mrs happy again
