Christmas Challenge
Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2021 1:28 pm
No entry fee and no prizes!
I have been attempting to work out the correct sequence for tightening the head bolts on a 6 cylinder P2 engine and I have not been able to locate any official (or unofficial for that matter) diagram to show recommended practice. I have sketched up the head bolt positions as best I can estimate (doing a properly accurate drawing would take for ever) and attempted what I think may be close to a logical sequence. Drawing at rocker level attached BUT I AM NOT AN ENGINEER! and what is more I have never refitted a P2 head - yet. My challenge is for anyone out there with more experience than me to improve on the sequence I have shown and send it back. If you spot any other errors or omissions please let me know and if by any chance you have an official Rover practice note or similar I would be very grateful to see it.
As I said there are no prizes but current & future generations of P2 owners will be grateful to you
Merry Christmas!
