4.6 Rebuild Manual?

[Greg Davis]

So I'm getting ready to start taking my daughter's 4.6 apart so I can send the block off.

Any good manuals out there regarding what the tolerances should be, assembly guides, ect? This is my first engine and I'd like to get it right on the first try.

There is the RAVE engine overhaul manual. I found a PDF download online by googling when I was going through this. It lists clearances, etc.

You should find what you want here http://www.landroverresource.com/discovery/.

number9 beat me to the link. That is the manual I used. Excellent resource!

That's perfect. EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you very much.:applause:

Also, I highly recommend "How to Power Tune Rover V8 Engines for Road and Track". It goes into tremendous detail about these engines and all of the things to focus on during the machining and rebuild. I've only seen it as an eBook on Amazon, but it clearly illustrates why the properly rebuilt blocks cost so much.

Thanks - can you elaborate on your "Cannibal V8" listed in your sig?

Don't buy from Cannibal. The problems with their rebuilds are well documented.

You can also see if a machine shop will give you the AERA specs. Some will print them out for you. That is what the machinists use.

I worked very closely with Steven and I'm very happy with my build. I did my research and talked with him in-depth about the issues. That said, I'd never recommend dumping hard-earned cash into anyone without establishing a relationship first. Do your research and make your own decision.

I don't know how would ever know given their practice of not returning phone calls.
