V8 Engine Rebuild Kit
Cylinder Block Components
For the DIY Enthusiast
These kits include everything you are likely to need for a 3.5 litre engine rebuild or conversion to 3.9 litres. We assume you'll have the block rebored (in the case of the 3.98, re-sleeved using the liners supplied) and any other machining work done as required.
Please note that your crankshaft is required in exchange. For export customers, the crank can be removed from the kit, a price adjustment made, allowing you to have the re-grinding done locally.
We can also offer kits using performance components. Please enquire.

*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. (Not applicable 1995 on).
Approximate gasket thicknesses are as follows:
Standard (tin) gaskets 0.5mm
Composite gaskets 1.2mm
Typical effect on compression ratio:
Standard (tin) gaskets 3cc
Composite gaskets 10cc
