--- Quote from: "MuddyMike" ---Make sure the gearbox spigot bearing is suitable for a manual box. Some standard SD1 auto V8s have a steel spigot bush that fits but welds itself to the mainshaft after a little use.

Not sure what spigot bearing is in it - but the engine came out of a 2A Hybrid.

Its the bush up inside the end of the crankshaft in the middle of the flywheel, and supports ths spigot on the end of the gearbox inputshaft. If its already been used with a manual box in the 2A it should be ok.

You can treat unleaded to get well over 100 octane quite cost effectively, or run on LPG with an octane rating of about 115.

All the RRC autos i've seen had the same crank as the manual, but you have to fit the spigot bearing.

But we were talking about an SD1 V8, and I know that at least some SD1 V8 autos used a steel spigot bush the same size as a series spigot. It must be changed for a bronze bush or it will weld itself together due to the rotational friction when the clutch is depressed. Then try removing the gearbox!!!

Is the SD1 auto different to the Range Rover auto then?

Mine was from an 87 ish Rangy auto and there was no spigot bush at all in it. The manual bronze bush just pressed in to the crank.
