K seal doesn't work, Steel seal does but, I wouldn't put it in a RV8.

Never needed to remove a rocker cover, let alone change the cam.:cool:

I was aware of it but, when I had my V8, I never needed to even remove a rocker cover, I have since learned I must have been very lucky with it in the 4.5 yrs I owned it!

Yes, the "cam break in" sounds quite a scary procedure but, I would have thought V8 Developments would have bench tested it before handover.

Shouldn't a rebuilt engine be "run in" before, using full performance?

It was on mine the horn and other steering wheel functions failed at the same time as, the SRS light came up.

Rotary coupler?

Jap import, have a look at the pics of the ones for sale at Specialist Cars, York, a couple of them are the same.

I assume it was one of their less expensive ones, I wouldn't have been happy if I had paid £12 odd k for it!

I wouldn't have expected that especially, seeing what they sell em for, but seeing the photos of em they look like new cars!

Nor did I with mine.

And, the addition of catalytic converters was for emissions reasons, not to improve the the engine, Scotty Kilmer reckons engines run better without, if it came out the factory with em, they have to stay unless, you live in Tennessee.

Why not a stage 2 4.6 with Weber or Edelbrock carb, of course you would need the front cover off a 3.5!

Strange thing is, it seems they fitted whatever was available in the parts bin on the day, there is no definitive answer to which models (with walnut) had them and which didn't, I was thinking models (with walnut) that had the satnav option but, I'm probably wrong, I give up.:confused:

I'd be concerned how it got there in the first place, could you have filled up with contaminated fuel somewhere?

The only thing I can think of is, the centre dash moulding is different on models that didn't have the option of satnav, the cubby fits in the opening that would hold the satnav unit from what I can see on the images of the centre dash section online.

I just pulled mine out, no clips as such just, raised bits on the cubby where it fits the opening in dash but, I wouldn't say you could remove the whole clock via it, I just removed the cubby to change the bulb.

I have used it on the Astra I had, had a leaking head gasket after over heating when a hose clip failed, it never overheated after replacing the clip but, was losing coolant via the exhaust, followed the instructions to the letter and, it cured it, still hadn't lost any coolant when I got rid a...

Used to, now made of tightly rolled paper.

Might just be going down the exhaust, is there moisture coming out the tailpipe? condensation unusual this time of year, are you losing coolant?
