Rover V8 firing order
Discussion
Wotcha
I don't know if anybody on here keeps up with Chevy tuning, but a recent tuning mod for the small block boys has been to change the firing order, swapping cylinder 4 and 7. The point of comparison is that the Small block has the same firing order (1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2) as the rover. So concievably this would work for this engine too.
Anybody heard anything else about this?

I think that providing the intake manifold has a common plenum then you might well get the relected pulse from the closed valve in 8 then rushing across into 7 (bear in mind the Yanks odd numbering method - odd cylinders on LH bank even on right with no. 1 at the front and LH is drivers LH)
Just wondering if anyone had heard of anything similar in rover-land

Well I think its a fairly new idea for them, details are on the Compcams website so its probably just starting to take off. Also the additional costs are only a camshaft, you don't need a new crank so if it worked the customer just has to pay for a billet cam as opposed to one ground from a blank.
