2B•2 V6 engine - in-car engine repair procedures
1380 Rover 800 Series Remake
1 General information
How to use this Chapter
1 This Part of Chapter 2 is devoted to repair
procedures possible while the engine is still
installed in the car, and includes only the
Specifications relevant to those procedures.
Since these procedures are based on the
assumption that the engine is installed in the
car, if the engine has been removed and
mounted on a stand, some of the preliminary
dismantling steps outlined will not apply.
2 Information concerning engine / trans-
mission removal and refitting, and engine
overhaul, can be found in Part C of this
Chapter, which also includes the
Specifications relevant to those procedures.
Engine description
3 The V6 engine fitted to Rover 825, 827 and
Sterling models is a water-cooled, six-
cylinder, four-stroke petrol engine, of single
overhead camshaft configuration per bank,
and 2494 cc (2.5 litre) or 2675 cc (2.7 litre)
capacity. The larger capacity being achieved
by an increase in cylinder bore diameter. The
2.5 litre engine was fitted to Rover 825 models
from 1986 until 1988, to be replaced by the
2.7 litre engine which is currently still in
production.
4 The combined crankcase and cylinder
block is of die-cast aluminium alloy
construction, and houses the pistons,
connecting rods and crankshaft. The solid
skirt cast aluminium alloy pistons have two
compression rings and an oil control ring, and
are retained on the connecting rods by semi-
floating gudgeon pins which are an
interference fit in the connecting rods. The
forged steel connecting rods are attached to
the crankshaft by renewable shell type big-
end bearings. The crankshaft is carried in four
main bearings, also of the renewable shell
type. Crankshaft endfloat is controlled by
thrust washers which are located on either
side of No 3 main bearing.
