What did you do to your Rover today?

[SafeAirOne]

Does the front pipe bolt straight up to the stock 2.25 manifold.

He has a 2.5 installed in his 88 and was using the original 2.25 (tiny) exhaust system with his 2.5NAD till his recent purchase.

It sure is larger diameter about twice. I principally went this route because I wanted to try it out because the head pipe is designed for use with a 2.5 NAD. All the other systems require modification. I've also heard good things about Steve Parker on the Series 2 Club forum. It ended up being about the same price as an NRP uses standard Rover style hangers. I'm very pleased with the way the engine runs now. It seems to be much smoother and maybe a little peppier. It sure sounds good.

I installed an exhaust system designed for a 2.5 NAD in an 88. What an excellent piece of kit that is.
Jim

Why'd you go that route? Is it a better flowing, ie larger diameter, system?

Found a lumpy tappet roller in my engine, right where I suspected it!!!! Cam still looks perfect... Hopefully this is the end of my sporadic missing..



(anyone got a spare roller,slide, and guide set?)

Bolted fenders, slam panel on. Have shiny new oil lines radiator etc expansion tank pas reservoir etc ready to bolt in tomorrow.

Well, after having my 74 Ser III towed home, suspecting a serious fuel problem... ...viola, runs better than ever.

Glad it's all set.

Did you by chance, use the "Significant-other" towing service? I've used them several times over the last 7 years--cheap, but you have to put up with a some crap when requesting the tow and immediately after you get the dead Rover home.

I don't see why you need ANY silicone when rebuilding a carb. Glad you got it going.

Well, after having my 74 Ser III towed home, suspecting a serious fuel problem, I tested it in my garage instead of the 10 miles from home and found fuel getting to the carb, but that was it. I replaced the relatively new (rebuilt) carb with a brand new one I had, did a tappet adjustment, replaced the 25D distributor with a aftermarket one and added Pertonix and viola, runs better than ever. Actually has power now. Found the relatively new (rebuilt) carb had a servicer who apparently had trouble controlling the amount of a black silicone type material being used on it, clogging some of the runs and jets. It was purchased from a very reputable parts supplier. Alas, we learn. But at least I get to drive ...
