I have a 90 with an old RR 3.5 V8 (carb) engine in. Problem is that the heads are going/gone and the engine is trhowing oil all over the place and the leaks appear to be coming from everywhere.

Anyway as you guys know best should I keep that engine and have it rebuilt? If so exactly what should be done/checked? Or should I go for a 3.9 or a 3.5 Efi.

Could you all take into account that I'm no mechanic, although I'm not frightened to get stuck in with instruction/advice.

Thanks

where is this oil coming from exactly? you got a piccy? if as you say it seems to be coming from "everywhere" i suspect its the rocker cover and not the head that is leakin, more so since you dunt mention any lose of power.

Slob maybe right, but my old V8 had just had a complete rebuild when I bought it. Engine had been a bit lumpy, so the local V8 specialist had a look and found a porous head, leaking gaskets and all manner of things wrong. £1700 for a complete rebuild and it was one sweet motor after that

Oh, forgot to mention, it was a 3.5EFi that was from a donor Rangie that had done intergalactic mileage
