Differences between 2.6 Litre engine Series 2A & Series 3?

Hello John,

Thank you for taking time to look at the parts book. I do not have any Series 2A parts books only Series III stuff.

The Series IIA engine I have has a cover that encloses the flywheel - no clutch related components at all. I have other Series III donor vehicles to get bits and pieces off.

If it all goes pear shaped for Rebus I have other Series III six cylinder vehicles; like my military Series III (Batty), that will some day need a new clutch. So any new parts that I buy will not go to waste.

Rebus requires less work to get road worthy than the army Land Rovers I have. Batty is currently laying down its own smoke screen - but that is another story :angel:.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hello All,

Here are a couple of photographs of the engine as it sits in its frame at the moment.

Hi Lionel

That looks to be merely a cover over the flywheel so it can be run safely on a test bed/frame. The flywheel is inside, all you need to do is remove the cover, fit the clutch plate and pressure plate and install the engine to the car.

Hello Diana,

Yes just a cover over the flywheel to make things safe. I did mention this previously in a reply to John ;).

I bought the engine off Keith (Rover123...50) and the thinking is the engine was previously used as a TAFE Teaching aid for the mechanics. The bonus is that it has electronic ignition :).

Because I was interstate it has been six months or more since I last started the engine - fingers crossed!

Kind Regards
Lionel
