Your presssure is about what is to be expected. The Rover motor does not make high pressures. I am not aware of a kit to increase the output of the late model cam driven pump. The kits that I am awar

Actually Larry my response was with regard both to idle and running pressure. at 2000-3000 is about what you expect with a Rover at operating temps. John

Actually, 8-10# at idle at operating temp would be quite acceptable. Rovers, and later(Ihave no recent experience with pre-SD1 stuff) will not make 30# at idle unless there is something unusual in th

James, I personally run a bit more pressure than stock, because I do use 6000+ revs. The stock SD1 engine would be hard pressed to turn 6000, due to restricted intake and a baby cam. As a practical m

Joe, Does your front cover have the hole for the distributor? All late motors have the front cover/oil pump that you describe, but only a few on the interim engine were set up to take a distributor.

That's a question that I'd like to see answered also. Maybe someone can talk C&A into telling us. They offer a version of their chevy rod for the Rover. John

Greg, Its an interim block, probably a '94. Takes the small journal crank. The front cover off of that block is especially interesting, in that it has the new style oil pump that is driven off the cr

If the bellhousing is a buick dual pattern or 4 speed, I think its value to be a good bit more, say over $200. Try to find one. I'll give $100 for all you have got. If its a modified 3 speed, $100 ma

Simon, when you did the leakdown, you should have been able to detect air either in the crankcase, which tells you rings/bore, or in the intake or exhaust, which tells you intake or exhaust valve. Jo

Pete, I can't tell you what it means but may start you in the right direction. 1980 TR8 motors were 12A I believe, and 80 SD1s were 12 A or 13A, so the motor should predate those. John
