Rover 4.0 & 4.6 V8 Petrol Engine Parts

Few people know this but the V8 Rover engine was originally designed by General Motors. In 1967 Rover redesigned it and started production in the UK. The excellent quality of its design has enabled it to be used in a very wide range of vehicles both at Rover and other manufacturers around the world. The success of Rover's V8 engine is due not only to the compact size of this internal combustion system but also to the fact that its cylinder head and cylinder block are made of aluminum. It is one of the first of its kind and this type of construction promotes ease of maintenance and resilience of the engine block. An improved version of the V8 Rover engine block design has been manufactured until 2011 by Coscast. From 1970 to 1989 it was fitted to Land Rover/ Range Rovers then appeared in 1983 through 1994 on Land Rover 90 and 110 Defender and in 1989 through 2004 in Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover. It also equipped the Land Rover Defender between 1994 and 1998. In 1998 it appeared in England on the Land Rover Defender 50th anniversary limited edition.
