I bought a 3.5 v8 landrover the bores have been soaking in diesel and waste engine oil for 7 years soon it might free up and turn over been sat and weather seized good project engine to rebuild for fun and experience
Hi Mark, if it has had water down the inlet ports it might not be good news on the inside.... Click this link to an earlier Rover V8 I literally dragged from under a hedge... the findings were not good and was a real shame as actually engine wear was minimal! th-cam.com/video/Cth7l3lDa30/w-d-xo.html

Golden gem folk
Chris is bad enough in that van already without the V6.
Why put those low compression pistons back in?
Those ''low compression'' pistons in this engine give a compression ratio of 10.5 to 1 .......
Adi,, what vehicle are you going to put this engine into?
A plan has been discussed, find out in todays video when it goes up later ....
Put the V8 in the ldv
