This is going to the TR7/8 and Rover V8 list. The Rover list just had a long discussion on the oil pressures of the V8. This led to some discussion on the oil viscosity. But I never saw a real answer

This is slightly car related as the gas prices affect all of us drivers, especially those of you out there with the V8's. On the night of December 16, 1773, American patriots boarded three merchant v

I do not recall what a 916 is but the 914 has the engine in front of the rear axle and if I remember correctly, the gearbox behind the axle. Very similar to turning a VW bug setup arround 180 degrees
