| Suitability of Rover V8 heads with Unleaded fuel Hi I have just got hold of an SD1 carb fuelled Rover V8. Are the heads suitable in their original state to be used with unleaded petrol?      |

| RE: Suitability of Rover V8 heads with Unleaded fuel Excellent! Cheers Steve. At least thats one job less to do.  I presume valve seat cutting or lapping of valves doesnt change your answer does it? |

| RE: Suitability of Rover V8 heads with Unleaded fuel Pretty sure seats are not just surface hardened so re-lapping should'nt hurt. Russell will confirm for sure when he's on-line. Steve G {-} GE427-Rover 281ci.

| RE: Suitability of Rover V8 heads with Unleaded fuel Yes Steve, absolutely agree. All SD1 heads are unleaded compatable. Re-cutting or lapping seats has no effect on un-leaded capability. Make sure you don't re-cut the seats to deep or you'll hood the valve initial opening reducing flow at small valve openings. Russ |
