3.5 Rover venting and oiling
Racers,
Curtis may be glad to know that a first attempt to "fix" the venting and oiling problem with the RV8 GT2 car, incorporates his suggestion for fixing the problem. That is, a heavy new hose connecting the fuel pump port to the vent-to-catch tank hose from the left side valve cover. Bill Young crafted a new plate and coupling to the fuel pump port and a new coupling to the valve cover port to the catch tank. Photos to follow. keep them on the track phillip g |

Guys here with the larger 4.6 and 4.4 engines use a vacuum pump and have no issues with crank case pressure or oiling.

Re: 3.5 Rover venting and oiling
So, where are the photos?
Is it possible to install oilpump of 4.4 or 4.6 into 4.0 engine? It has greater efficiency, I guess P.S.: Sorry for my english, if i did mistakes - not my mother tongue |

The 4.0 with 4 bolt mains has the same oil pump as the 4.6 also same timing cover.

Re: 3.5 Rover venting and oiling
Not a problem. The 4.0 and 4.6 differ in the crank, pistons & connecting rods. The heads, block, timing chain, timing cover, etc are all the same.

Re: 3.5 Rover venting and oiling
Sorry for off-top, but are there some tables with measurements of cranks, pistons, etc. of Rover V8, and other differs of these engines?
