Hopefully it's nothing terminal. If it is I might have to put a big 6.2 in there. Lol.

Hi
I hear the 5 litre Rover V8's do rooster tails from all 4 wheels in sand :p
Steve
They do now do they?
Dear Santa, I have been a good boy this year so I'd like a 5.0 please. I am not greedy though so a car that runs for more than a week without an issue. Thanks.
Well I went in to see the mechanic this morning and they were testing the heads this afternoon. He informed me that if there were no problems with the heads then it is only head gaskets and he would get back to me this afternoon if there were any problems. Well no news is good news as they say and I haven't heard anything so I can hope that it is only the gaskets after all. I asked him to check the manifold gaskets and other seals whilst he is in there as I don't want to find a leak in a week.
Now it is Friday so I will have to wait until Monday......
Here's hoping its just gaskets! Fingers crossed for you mate!
Yeh that's a rough ride. Feel for you. Isn't it bad things than come in three's? Well that's 3 things then.
Thanks fellas!
Fingers crossed for you that it is only a gasket, the the 5.0 does sound an interesting option ;).Quote:

Or maybe not.
5 litres will spin the wheels on bitumen is what I've heard.
Best of luck, I can sympathise with you on frustrating engine problems.
If 5 litres makes all the difference, imagine highrr's gen III P38! There's no substitute for cubes if you want horses, but it's the legs in the horses that make them run!
Strokers are the way to go!
