rover vitesse sd1

[billiwizz2]

does anyone know the compression of the v8 vitesse engine....

[Arese]

10.5:1 ?

think it depends on which version you have.

usually will be 9.35:1 but you could have ended up with a low compression version at 8.01:1

9.75:1. It's the same engine (3.5 V8) as my TVR.

this is Eliot Mezs paged (he's quite a big PHer but i can't remember his name at the mo- might just be Mez)

agrees with 9.75:1 as previous poster mentioned , which makes my first post incorrect
