    Question P76 Pushrods

    Hi

    I am looking to replace my lifters and pushrods in my 4.6 and read that the P76 used oiling pushrods and I was wondering if anyone knew about the availability of them?

    Thanks
    Steve

    There was a business in Skye (Vic) called Rovacentre that used to do Range Rover P76 conversions, they made adaptor kits to fit up the auto and the inlet manifold from the RR to the P76 motor. Don't know if they still operate, well over 10 years since I traded with them, but a search still brings up their address and phone number so might be worth a try. (03) 9782 2630

    The P76 pushrods won't fit a 4.6, they're designed for an engine with about 20mm extra deck height. Anyway, why would you use them in an engine with pressure fed rocker shafts? The only reason the P76 had hollow pushrods is because they used splash fed pressed metal rockers similar to many other Australian sold OHV engines of the time. The Rover system is superior IMHO.

    Thanks mate, there was a discussion about using oiling pushrods being superior, now I have this info I will stick with the orignal rover pushrods
