Supercharger on a classic

<< < (5/5)

Range Rover Blues:
Yeah I could hardly believe the 200KG either but it's the only major difference between the early EFi and later cars.  It's inside the doors and the roof too probably, the black stick on stuff they call dead sheet.

Unbless of course they started to use thicker metal :?

As for power loss I'd have to say a fair bit.  Add to that some 3.9s were ok, some were very quick and just occasionally you found a slow one.

Wear in the camshaft can, I'm told, rob both power and economy.  Wear in the timing chain will also effect the engine.

SebastianW:
So basically, if I find i have a really weak 3.9EFi, I should take a look at the cam shafts and timing chains?

Range Rover Blues:
As long as a compression test shows no problems and it's not using water (a bit of oil is ok) then it might be worth a look at the cam yes.

Have a mooch round the RPI website for more detail on what cams do and why they wear etc.
