HC or not?

[SlimChim]

How can you tell if your 4.0 litre Chim is HC?

[OleVix]

Probably has good power from 5-6000 rpm

Have seen one where HC was written on the ecu

[SILICONEKID340HP]

The cam may of been changed to a more mild one so its not a HC.

Yep lopey idle if its still on the 500 cam without removing the valve covers to expose the double valve springs externally hard to tell, its only a badge and can easily be changed but does it say HC on the plenum?
That's my old one.

Mine says HC on the ecu and on the chip inside but not on the plenum or anywhere else!

Mine is the same, it had nothing wrote in the hand book, it was only when I was checking out the ecu that I noticed it on the case and chip.

I once had a Viva HC. It didn't say it anywhere!

I hope that helps

Yes because there they did a low and high comp engine ,the low comp were used in Viva vans ,they were slower and could not be thrashed .

The HC was just the different model there was a HA and a HB different body styles. , we had all of them, well my dad did.

Who would name a van after a dog?

According to the many ads for 'HC' 400s there appear to have been more manufactured than 'standard' ones.

[madasafrog666]

Mine has HC on the engine and in the original black book!!

[stuarte]

If this helps, mine isn't an HC and doesn't have HC written anywhere except in the "Chimaera" badge. And then not in the right order.

Best thing to do is get in on a rolling road. I once owned M105 NP? which was a HC, but the timing marks were in the wrong place. The rolling road managed to get the car setup right and running the full 275Bhp.....

The best well to tell.
