Can I have his detail for future reference if I am going the path of reboring the engine? Thanks.

This where i had my TDI head done recently , nice bloke and quite happy to chat about different engines and their faults if any.
He was telling me about the VW V5 as used in the Bora and others and how the bores are angled in the block which would be a similar issue to the afore mention LR motors.

The rover part number for the wedge block for boring a IOE engine was T1288 & was available through Rover Parts Division, according to the Rover Cyclops workshop manual. I haven't been able to find any photo's if one.:mad:

The 'wedge' or re-boring jig for the 6-cylinder is 261288
You'll see it on page 4 in the document below.

Only needed if mounting a portable boring machine on the top of the block.

Found reference to Churchill Tools making the Series I wedge but couldn't find any pictures.
