Introduction Since its introduction in 1970, only one type of petrol engine has been fitted to the the Range Rover: the all-aluminium Rover V8 unit, bought from Buick by Rover in the 1960s. The 3.5 litre V8 was first used in Rover's P5 saloon and thereafter, in the P6 and SD1 saloons. Inevitably, due to its versatility, the Rover V8 also found its way into sports cars - such as MGs and TR7s - as well as more utilitarian vehicles: Police riot vans, ambulances and naturally, a whole variety of Land Rover products. Still in production today, the Rover V8 is currently being employed by the likes of TVR, Morgan, Marcos and, of course, Land Rover. The reasons for the engine's overwhelming success are obvious: it's simple, reliable, light and reasonably compact, and can be easily adapted to suit almost any purpose. Its versatility is unquestionable: it can be supercharged, turbocharged and run on LPG. Finally, parts are cheap and readily available. Over the years, the engine has grown in capacity from 3.5 to 3.9, then 4.2 and ultimately (for Range Rover at least) 4.6 litres. Some - notably TVR - have even stretched the capacity to 5.0 litres and beyond. Add the bewildering choice of compression ratios available (due to the changing demands of various world markets over three decades) and the result is a confusing range of parts from which to choose when contemplating engine work. In the following section, we have attempted to simplify the choice wherever possible, but at the same time provide a complete range of parts to cater for all models.

Replacement Full Engines We offer various capacities of replacement (exchange) full engine, including 3.5, 3.9, 4.6, 4.8 & 5.2 litre, depending on the power/torque output you require. Any one of these engines can be fitted as a replacement for your existing engine, provided any necessary modifications to the fuel system are carried out. The compression ratio of all replacement engines is 9.35:1 and all are suitable for unleaded fuel. In addition, most engines are available in two power levels: Standard or Performance, as described below.

Standard Full Engines Standard engines are the perfect choice for anyone looking to replace a worn-out engine. Suitable for carb or efi applications, manual or automatic transmissions and built to run on unleaded fuel as well as LPG. These engines are a straight swop, enabling the existing ancillaries and fuel system to be retained. 3.9 litre engines are a popular replacement for 3.5 (carb or efi). Alternatively, a standard 4.6 engine works very well in place of a high-mileage 3.9 or 4.2 efi (the ecu will require remapping to suit). Standard engines are available in 3.5, 3.9 & 4.6 litre versions.

Performance Full Engines Performance engines are built to the same high specifications as our Standard versions, but incorporate certain modifications to increase power and torque. Ideal for the driver who requires more performance from their vehicle, these engines feature a higher lift, longer duration camshaft, Vernier timing chain and improved cylinder heads fitted with larger valves. To gain maximum benefit from these engines, we recommend the fuel system, exhaust and air filter be uprated to suit. (For example, a 3.9 efi vehicle fitted with a Performance 4.8 engine, would also benefit from a remapped ecu, stainless steel sports exhaust and K&N air filter). Performance engines are available in 3.9, 4.6, 4.8 & 5.2 litre versions.

Engine Number Identification We have included a reference chart of Range Rover V8 engine numbers from 1970 onwards, which will help you to identify the engine fitted to your Range Rover. The engine number of most Range Rover V8s is stamped on the left hand side of the block deck, adjacent to the dipstick tube, although some very early models had the engine number stamped on the bellhousing flange at the rear of the block. The chart also contains a brief description of features, such as compression ratio and gearbox type, and also the approximate year fitted. Therefore, if your engine has been changed at some time, it should still be possible to correctly identify it. To ensure you receive the correct parts, please have your engine number ready before ordering. Note: "Pulsair" and "Air Injection" are terms applied to engines equipped with Air Rail type cylinder heads, ie cylinder heads with steel pipes located in holes just above the exhaust ports. (Fitted to carburettor engines only.) "Detoxed" refers to a variety of emission control devices, including Air Rails, fitted to carb engines.

Engine Numbers

V8 Engines - Standard

New 'long' engine;
New long engines are essentially a 'stripped' full engine (ie not as complete as a full engine). Comprising of new cross-bolted short engine fitted with new heads (less rocker gear and cam) they are obviously cheaper than the comparative 'full' engine. It is essential to ensure that the build-up of a 'long' engine is carried out properly, ensuring that all components such as rocker gear, cam/followers, timing gear, oil pump, timing cover, sump etc are checked/overhauled/replaced to validate our warranty. Suitable for carb or efi vehicles, please state model/year when ordering to ensure correct heads are fitted.

Specification We start with a strengthened bottom end, carefully balanced to ensure smooth, vibration-free running. 3.9 litre engines are based on a reconditioned, late-type block, which is rebored and fitted with new 94mm cylinder liners. (Note: we sometimes use brand new 3.9 short engines, depending upon price & availability). The crankshaft is reground and micro-polished, fitted with heavy duty bearings and held securely by ARP mains cap studs, which help prevent movement at high revs. Con rods are carefully weighed and matched in sets - again to help internal balancing - and are fitted to 94mm high compression pistons. 4.6 litre engines are built around latest specification short engine assemblies, which feature larger bearing journals, fully counter-balanced cranks, cross bolting of the main bearing caps (preventing movement at high revs) and careful internal balancing of the short engine assembly. 4.8 litre engines are based on the latest factory x-bolted, 4.6 litre large bearing blocks (94mm bore). The stroke is extended to 86mm, using a cross-drilled, billet steel crank. Special 94mm forged psitons are fitted along with new steel conrods, heavy duty bearings and ARP studs ensure a strong and reliable bottom end. 5.2 litre engines are based on the latest factory x-bolted, large bearing blocks. The standard liners are replaced with 'top hat' liners, the bore is increased to 96mm and the stroke is extended to 90mm, using a cross drilled, billet steel crank. Special 96mm forged pistons (with valve cut-outs) are fitted, along with new steel conrods. The cylinder heads are unique to this engine and are fitted with ultra-big valves (1.68" inlet, 1.45" exhaust). Compression ration is 9.35:1. Cylinder heads for 3.9, 4.6 & 4.8 litre Performance engines are the same: we use late-type heads, which are reworked to improve the engine's ability to "breathe". Modifications include gas-flowing the heads, equalising the combustion chambers and matching the opening of the ports to the inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets. We then recut the valve seats and fit larger valves (41.4mm inlet, 35.5mm exhaust), special valve springs and shortened valve guides (with the latest type stem seals), along with new rocker shafts. Finally, we use composite gaskets to eliminate head gasket problems. Compression ratio is 9.35:1. Camshafts are specially selected to get the most from our Performance engines whilst being tractable enough for inner city driving. 4x4 engines have high-torque camshafts which suit both manual and automatic gearboxes equally well. However, we will happily fit any hydraulic camshaft of your choice to one of our Performance engines by special arrangement. Camshaft followers are the High-rev hydraulic type and cam timing is set and maintained with pre-stretched, duplex chains and adjustable vernier steel gear sets. We also fit a new distributor drive gear. Oil pump covers are refaced, modified to prevent the relief valve sticking and fitted with a new relief valve and spring. Timing Cover and sump are fully reconditioned and fitted. To gain maximum benefit from our Performance engines, we recommend that the fuel system, exhaust and air filter be uprated to suit. A full range of uprated fuel system components, tubular exhaust manifolds and K&N air filters are available for most Rover V8 applications. If you are unable to find the part you need, please contact our sales department.

Cylinder Heads

---

There have been various changes made to the V8's cylinder heads since the introduction of the Range Rover. Consequently, there are numerous different cylinder head part numbers, not all of which are still available. However, as the V8 block has remained essentially unchanged throughout, it is possible (and sometimes beneficial) to fit later cylinder heads in place of earlier ones. The most important difference to bear in mind, when considering replacing cylinder heads, is that some are designed for use with air rails (see Introduction of Engine section) whilst others are not. In this section, we have listed a range of cylinder heads to suit every application - air rail, non air-rail, carburettor & efi. We have also included our range of performance heads, which can be used on all engines. However, they are not designed for use with air rails. All heads are suitable for unleaded fuel.

Performance Cylinder Heads

---

Our Performance cylinder heads are carefully modified to gain the maximum power from your engine, whether used on their own or with other modifications, such as a higher lift camshaft or our sports exhaust systems. We use late-type cylinder heads (19mm spark plug reach), cleaned and fully reconditioned. We then gas-flow the heads and enlarge the ports to match inlet & exhaust manifold apertures. Combustion chambers are measured and equalised and the heads are then refaced to achieve a compression ratio of 9.35:1 with composite cylinder head gaskets. We narrow the valve seats, recut them for optimum flow and fit larger valves (41.4mm inlet & 35.5mm exhaust). Shortened & shaped valve guides are fitted, along with the latest-type stem seals, inlet & exhaust. Finally, we fit high performance valve springs. Good results will be obtained by fitting Performance heads to any engine, from a standard 3.5 litre to a Performance 5.2, but to enjoy the maximum benefit offered by their improved efficiency, we recommend fitting a performance cam, tubular exhaust manifolds (see Tubular Manifolds section), K&N air filters or a 4-barrel carburettor, such as the Edelbrock Performer or Holley (see Fuel section). Alternatively, if your vehicle is fuel injected, we recommend a remapped ECU (see Fuel section).
Performance Cylinder Heads are supplied in pairs (less rocker gear) and are suitable for unleaded fuel. They are not designed for use with air rails.
NOTE: Exchange units: Our head assemblies are the later type with 19mm plug reach (as opposed to 12mm) and therefore exchange units must also be of the same type, otherwise a surcharge will apply.

Performance cylinder heads - (1) - RB7467R
Supplied as pair.
NOTE: Use composite head gaskets.

Composite head gaskets are thicker than standard tin gaskets and will therefore lower the engine's compression ratio. Ideal for correcting compression ratio when heads/block faces have been skimmed.
Approximate gasket thicknesses are as follows:
Standard (tin) gaskets 0.5mm
Composite gaskets 1.2mm

Valves, Guides & Springs

---

Various different valves have been used since the Range Rover's introduction; most having the standard "Rover SD1" head diameter: inlet - 40mm, exhaust - 34mm. However, early models were fitted with the Rover P5/P6 type valves, which had a smaller head diameter. In order to benefit from the larger valve size, it would be more practical to fit a pair of later cylinder heads than to attempt to fit the larger valves to early heads.
Efi specification valves are standard SD1 head-diameter, with waisted stems just behind the valve head.
The largest valves that can be fitted to the existing valve seats (later heads only), without the need for extensive machining, are our Big Valves (Inlet - 41.4 mm, exhaust - 35.5 mm, with waisted stems). These valves are particularly suited to large capacity engines.
Finally, the latest factory valves, as fitted to 3.9 & 4.2 engines since 1993, as well as the New Range Rover (4.0 & 4.6 engines), feature the same head diameter as SD1-type valves.
Note: all parts supplied are suitable for unleaded applications.

What is Lifter Preload? "Lifter Preload" refers to the position of the pushrod seat in the lifter (cam follower) when the engine has been assembled and the lifter is positioned on the heel of the cam. Lifter preload must be checked whenever a non-standard component which alters the distance between the rocker arm and the lifter - such as a high lift camshaft or performance cylinder head - has been fitted. Incorrect lifter preload will cause poor running, premature wear or, at worst, engine failure. Check the lifter preload as follows :- With the lifters empty of oil, assemble the rocker shaft & pushrod components, making sure there is no wear in the rocker shafts, rocker arms & pushrods. Checking each lifter in turn, positioned on the heel of the cam, measure the gap between the pushrod seat and the bottom of the circlip groove. There must be a clearance of 0.020" minimum and 0.060" maximum at this position. If the clearance is greater than 0.060", use pedestal shims to decrease. Remember to use equal thickness shims under each pedestal of a shaft to avoid distortion or breakage.

Camshaft & Kits

---

We supply a full range of standard camshafts. In addition, we offer uprated camshafts in 2 different profiles: Mild Road and Fast Road.
Standard cams usually offer a good compromise between power, torque and economy.
Mild Road will give a small increase in power and torque without loss of fuel economy. Fast Road gives greater power at higher revs with a slight loss of low-rev torque, though less so with larger capacity engines. Economy remains good.
Although considered to be the first step towards "uprating" the engine, changing the camshaft alone may not achieve the desired results. We recommend, in fact, that you consider the camshaft as one element of an engine upgrade, which might also include, for example, uprated cylinder heads and a sports exhaust. Consequently, having decided what attributes your engine will need - good low-end torque for towing or a smooth idle for automatic transmission - you can then select the appropriate components to suit from these pages. Remember to fit new followers (lifters) with a new cam.
Finally, all camshafts are interchangeable, with the exception of the New Range Rover versions: due to a change of design, these cams will not easily fit earlier engines.

Timing Cover & Fittings

---

The timing cover fitted to early vehicles incorporates an oil pump gear-housing designed for the early, "short" oil pump gears. Later timing covers have a larger gear-housing, accommodating the longer pump gears, used until the introduction of the crank-driven oil pump. Although the two types of timing cover are interchangeable, the oil pump gears and distributor would also need to be changed. If, however, uprating the early oil pump is your goal, purchase Oil Pump Kit RB7480, which contains a spacer plate and longer gears, along with the correct distributor drive, and fit to the early timing cover. (RB7480 is not suitable for later timing covers).
The timing cover fitted to the New Range Rover is of an updated design, unsuitable for earlier models due to the fact that there is no provision for a distributor. There is, however, an "intermediate" timing cover, fitted to late 3.9 and 4.2 models immediately prior to the introduction of the New Range Rover, which includes a combination of features from both types, such as the crank-driven oil pump and conventional distributor.
Although this timing cover will fit earlier models, the oil pump drive requires a "long-nose" crank, not fitted to earlier engines.
