| It should be next to the base of the dip stick tube, if it is the same as mine.

| Early engines are supposed to of had it stamped on the bellhousing flange at the rear of the block. This is lifted straight out of a Rimmers catalogue

| Tinka, Thanks for your reply. I thought the engine was from a RR. My problem was that I replaced the Pinto engine with this one and took the car in today for an MOT. Unfortunately the garage said I may need to get it SVA'd again before I can ge tit MOT'd as he did not know the Emissions requirements for the rover engine and therefore abandoned the MOT test. Does this sound correct? Regards Martsam |

| No - your MOT tester isn't correct. Assuming that you declared your change of engine to the DVLA (and the V5 shows the correct RV8 ) then ther emissions levels are those set at the SVA. If they are printed on your V5 (page 1, section 3 - "Special Notes") then they apply at all MOT's. If not then the worst thing is that your car is tested to the age of the engine [4.5% CO, HC0.12] or simply a visible smoke test. If however you haven't declared your change of engine to the DVLA, then I would suggest you do so before attempting to get an MOT.
