ROVER V8 WANTED URGENTLY

Post by turoa »

My Rangie has got a giant hole in the block thanks to a rod going through it (no not bubba).

I NEED a good condition block and heads URGENTLY. Any size will do, but need it asap and cheap.

Cheers

Did anybody else notice how newbie rover-return replied eariler to Jerry's question to skid and the reply has now vanished?

How did rover-return know that "Skid didn't stop to assist as he was driving passed in the opposite direction"? I think somebody goofed and let the cat out ah Skid?

I think we were all supprised how usefull Jerry is when it came to sticking all the nuts and bolts back in and tightening everything back up.... you did well there mate :wink:

The only minor problem we had was Tu's side when we tightened the exhaust flanges back up, my side was fine but Tu's was a bit noisey :roll: :roll:
