My Griff Complete Rebuild

I picked up my Griff in March 2004 from a guy in Essex, It’s a 94 Pre-serp 500 with T5 box, I got it for a good price
with a leaking radiator.I purchased a new rad from Peninsula and promptly fitted, this solved the over heating
problem and away I went a happy bunny.

I’ll start by telling you all a bit about me.
My name is Andy Quinn, I’m 43 years old and work as a maintenance technician and safety officer for a furniture manufacturer.
I’ve owned TVR’s since 1997 following a long love affair with motorcycles, which is still my true passion, but due to health reasons I can no longer peruse.
I’ve always had an interest in things mechanical and will have a go at most things.
I’ve rebuilt a number of engines but this is only my second V8.
I decided that it would be far more satisfying to record what I did, and pass it on for other enthusiasts to use.
This is in no way a manual or instruction document; it has been produced for information only.

The project has been split into 4 parts
Engine strip down.
Engine cleaning and inspection.
Rebuilding the bottom end.
Rebuilding the top end and dyno testing.

There are loads of photos and not much text, so hopefully there is something for everybody with an interest in the Rover V8.

Thanks to Swedish Owner Richard Olsson for supplying information and pictures.
