right, I cant get hold of v8 tuner for love nor money, phone just rings out to voicemail and you cant order on there webiste (which is pointless in 2014).
I really need to put the cam in next so I can check the valve to piston clearance but I want to fit the cam button at the same time so does anyone know where I can get one?

"The Teflon Thrust Bolts are not suitable for early Rover V8 engines as the cam bolt thread rate is imperial and not metric. Suggest consider installing a thrust plate and machinig the cam and block to accept as per the post 1995 engines "
I dont fancy drilling and tapping my nice clean oily engine at this stage lol
Noisy I though you bought an early rv8 when you did yours, but you fitted the button didnt you?
