Short engine - Built-up block assembly, comprising crank, rods & pistons.
Long engine - Built-up block & cylinder heads assembly, including crank, rods & pistons, valves, guides & springs (less rocker gear), plus camshaft, followers & timing gear.
Full engine - Built-up engine assembly, comprising block (crank, rods & pistons), cylinder heads (valves, guides & springs), camshaft & timing gear, rocker gear, pushrods and fitted sump, timing cover and oil pump.
Full engines are either bench-run or dyno tested and built using customers own unit. Prices on application.
Turn-key engine - Ready-to-install, built-up engine assembly, complete with all ancillary components, fuel system & engine mountings. Turn-key engines can also be supplied dyno-run.
Please contact us for a quotation based on either one of our Standard or Performance Long engines with your choice of fuel system and ancillary components.
Long Engine Build-up.
These engines are supplied less rocker gear, pushrods, sumps & timing covers. It is absolutely essential that these items are checked, cleaned and correctly assembled prior to running your engine.
Check for wear on the underside of rocker shafts, on either side of the pedestals.
Check for wear on the valve tips of rocker arms.
Check pushrods for straightness and equal length.
Clean the sump and oil pick-up pipe.
Clean the timing cover and check the oil pump housing for wear and damage.
Replace all seals and gaskets.
If in any doubt, always replace with new components.
Long & Full Engines - Ancillary Components.
If you are re-fitting ancillary components - water pump, alternator or fuel injection - check that they are suitable for re-using. We recommend having fuel injectors cleaned/replaced before refitting.
The cooling system - including the radiator and heater - should be flushed through with clean water and the hoses checked before re-using. The correct ratio (minimum 33%) of antifreeze must be maintained at all times.
Oil coolers should be flushed of old engine oil.
Engine & gearbox mountings should be checked and renewed as necessary.
The clutch operating system should be checked for wear.
Rocker covers should be cleaned internally.
Failure to observe these points may lead to engine damage and may also invalidate the engine's warranty.
As well as a full list of service and rebuild parts for your V8 engine, we also offer a very comprehensive range of replacement full engines.
These engines are available in two formats: Standard and Performance.
Standard engines are the choice for anyone wishing to replace a worn-out engine with one of a similar type. These engines are a straight swap, enabling the existing ancillary components and fuel system to be retained.
Performance engines incorporate modifications designed to increase horsepower and torque - such as big valve cylinder heads and fast road camshafts - and usually require modifications to the fuel system (including ECU).
All Performance engines are dynamically balanced (ie their rotating components are balanced individually and not as one assembly). The benefit of balancing in this way is that individual components can be replaced, if need be, without upsetting the balance of the whole engine.
However, the benefits of balancing the engine are lost if any of the associated rotating parts are not also balanced; therefore, we strongly recommend that your crankshaft pulley and flywheel (manual transmission vehicles) are neutrally balanced before being fitted to your engine.
As there are numerous variations of crankshaft pulley and flywheel, the easiest way to make sure you have the correct, balanced components for your needs is to send us your original crank pulley and flywheel for balancing at the time of placing your engine order. These items will then be balanced (at extra cost) and returned to you with your engine.
The table below is a guide to typical power & torque outputs of our range of V8 Full engines.
Please note that these figures are intended only as an indication of the performance potential of each engine. In reality, power figures may vary considerably depending on final application; choice of induction system, exhaust and intended RPM range all have a significant effect on final power output.
To achieve the required power, it may be necessary to modify the fuel system. See Fuel section for details, or speak to our Sales Department for advice.
Each Performance Full engine is supplied with a dyno test sheet, giving actual power figures obtained on the dyno. All Long engines are bench run.
New 'Long' Engine;
New long engines are available in 4.0 litre and 4.6 litre capacities. They comprise a new, cross-bolted, large-bearing block assembly, fitted with new cylinder heads and standard camshaft & timing gear.
Supplied less timing cover, sump & rocker gear.
Exchange unit must be of similar type (like-for-like) - surcharge is only refunded upon receipt and inspection of suitable old unit.
4.0 Litre - (1) - ERR5012STRG
4.6 Litre - (1) - ERR5013STRG
Installation Kit - (1) - RB80034X4
Includes oil, filter, gaskets etc.
We will be pleased to recondition customer's own units to 'Full' engine specification on request and can quote to do so on an individual basis.
All engine assemblies are bolted to a steel cradle, for ease of handling and to minimise the risk of damage whilst in transit.
There is a surcharge for the cradle, refundable on its return. When returning an exchange engine, use the cradle for sending the old unit back and we will then refund both surcharges together.
Engine cradles can also be bought outright.
Engine Cradles - (1) - S005000EC
Performance Long engines are available in 4.0, 4.6, 4.8 & 5.2 litre capacities, giving a broad range of power and torque outputs to suit every budget.
They are built to an extremely high specification, which guarantees maximum power and long life.
Please note: specifications can be altered to suit your individual requirements - from ultra-big valve cylinder heads and solid-lifter camshafts to full turn-key Performance engines - phone us to discuss your needs.
Performance Engine Basic Specifications
All Performance Long engines are built around a rebuilt cross-bolted, large-journal block; all feature a Performance camshaft (the type depends on the intended application) and double roller timing chain sets.
Finally, Performance engines are all fitted with fully ported and polished, big valve cylinder heads, to Stage 3 specification or above (See Performance Cylinder Heads for details).
ALL APPLICATIONS.
Supplied less timing cover, sump & rocker gear.
Exchange unit must be 'Like for Like’'
Surcharge will only be refunded upon receipt & inspection of suitable old unit.

All long engines, including 5.2 litre, are suitable as direct replacements (as appropriate) for any Rover V8 engine.
However, modifications to the fuel system (including ECU) may be required when replacing a 4.0 or 4.6 litre engine with a larger capacity unit.
All Performance engines are compatible with unleaded petrol and lpg.
For manual transmission vehicles, we recommend fitting a new clutch while the engine is being replaced.
SHORT ENGINE BUILD-UP
When building up a short engine to a complete assembly, it is essential to thoroughly examine every part you intend to re-use.
We recommend that you pay special attention to the camshaft, followers, pushrods & rocker gear, checking carefully for signs of wear;
re-using worn parts is false economy and you risk contaminating your new engine with abrasive particles.
The following parts MUST be meticulously cleaned prior to fitting:
sump & oil pick-up pipe
timing cover & oil pump assembly
cylinder heads
rocker covers
Failure to observe these points may lead to engine damage and may invalidate the engine's warranty.
Short Engines - Ancillary Components.
If you are re-fitting ancillary components - water pump, alternator, or fuel injection - check that they are suitable for re-using. We recommend having fuel injectors cleaned/ replaced before re-fitting.
The cooling system - including the radiator and heater - should be flushed through with clean water and the hoses checked before re-using.
The correct ratio (minimum 33%) of antifreeze must be maintained at all times. Oil coolers should be flushed of old engine oil.
Engine & gearbox mountings should be checked and renewed as necessary.
The clutch operating system should be checked for wear.
Short engines are sold on an exchange basis. The old unit must be like for like.
