cheers.

Haynes Manual for 1970-1992 RR's says 135 lbs/sq in

Yeah, me too......but the man asked for numbers for a lo-comp 1985 V8.......so I gave him numbers, believing he knew the usual qualifier.

you're quite right, i just wanted the numbers. many thanks. would the classic rangie be the same as the 110? i thought that the earliest range rovers still had more power and torque (135bhp/205 lb/f vs. 111bhp/195/lb/f.)

cheers.

85 110 should have the 9.35:1 motor.

At least it would've left the factory with that engine.....

In which case 150 to 170 psi should be about right.

OOOPS, Still thinking OZ here! In the mother country you could get either 8.13 or 9.35 etc in a county....What made me think after the post was Jaspers AVATAR pic, looks european....
