JSG, stop being a pessimist! lucky you didnt say to much to my face at the Cannonball start line, as you may have seen, i proved the reliability is there, doing 3.5k in 5 days and an additional 3.5k in the following 2 weeks, while many other didnt even finish the first leg!
So long live the SP6, its a crackingluy fine engine (just had a few years of teathing problems!)

Lighten up - it was just a joke! Totally agree that the earlier problems do now seem to be sorted - I'm certainly no detractor of the S6, or I would've got rid of the Tuscan after it got on to its third engine. It will be interesting to see if the effects of any other compromises arise at higher mileages, or if it's totally sorted, mind.
Edited to add: Would say that we need a car managing upwards of 60k without a rebuild to really "prove the reliability is there", though... 3.5k on a run shouldn't even be a consideration, let alone something to champion.

Was only joking JSG! but i do agree with you about the 60k on an engine, but i think I will see with my next car, as i will be keeping it for a while, and doing serious mileage in it!
Got a chuckle over here for that effort. sacha said:

No probs. Group hug?
Sorry, just had too many threats of kneecapping, etc. in the mailbox from people since running that survey - makes me a bit defensive of my PoV! If I were TVR, I'd do some kind of publicly visible (and fair) "test" on a road-going S6 engined car to prove you can put 60k+ miles on it without any real prolems (and I'm including clutch, gearbox, etc. here as well as engine).

Russian Rocket, Thank you very much. Must admit that I have to get used to it. What about shiftlights?
>> Edited by infinity on Tuesday 9th November 08:38
no Shift lights but the whole display lights up red. This is the startup screen, still being good with keeping revs < 4k 400 miles to go....
should have dusted it off first......

<4k? Thought it was <3.5k, and preferably <3k for the first 1,000? And it doesn't just "hit a point" after that where you can immediately let loose. Would suggest SLOWLY building up towards 5-5.5k until 1500 miles, and not really aiming to bounce off the limiter until 2,000+
Clever enginner chap at factory (I have unfortunatley forgotten his name) who handed the car over to me said 4K with occ bursts up to 4.5K. Said initially published guides were too conservative. Also as manuel says being too gentle is not good for the engine either.
Do aggree with building rev's up slowly after first 1000 miles
