Engine Overhaul Recommendation

Post by stu60 »

Hi ,
First venture into this forum since buying Hawk 289 couple of months ago. I am trying to get the car as reliable as possible and might need an engine overhaul over the winter months. I have a oil leaks near distributor, lowish oil pressure (20- 25psi warm) and suspect low compression on Rover SD1 3500cc fitted with holley carb.

Can anyone recommend good place for engine overhaul. I am based in south west but can get engine removed easily enough for transport.

thanks Stuart

Not close I know but Jim at JRV8 Ballymena seems to get good reviews for RV8's. Get it on a pallet and it's not too expensive!!
