Any Rover V8 experts?

I'm trying to identify the cylinder capacity of my Rover v8. It has an unusual code: S81D.....A.

It has a compression ratio of 9.37:1

Any ideas? It's not in any Rover V8 code lists....

Cheers!

What vehicle is it from ?

Just measure the bore/stroke ?

No idea what it came out of. It's in a cutom built car I've just bought. I don't really want to strip the motor just yet, especially if the engine code can identify what it is!

I was just hoping someone might have a better list than what I've managed to find so far.

Yep, tried there!

Thanks for the ideas.

Looks like I will have to measure it! Was hoping someone might have seen that code somewhere...

If I find BDC on one cylinder and find oil capacity of the piston to the plug hole, that would give me some idea?

It'd still be nice to know what the motor is though.

Turner Engineering identified it at a 4.6, so it's quite a modern motor. Originally with MEMS injection. From a Landrover.

Well done them!
