Rover V8 kits
The vast majority of engines used are 3.5 and 3.9 litres and have a 6-hole pulley.  However over the years people have mixed and matched parts from the Rover parts bin so please check which pulley type you have before ordering.

 

6-bolt pulleys

!

When rear-mounting it will be necessary to remove the pulley from the engine.  If your pulley is fitted with a "crud-catcher" oil seal shield then you may remove this to increase clearance.  If possible the 5mm spacer should be used to move the trigger wheel as far away as possible from the damper-weight on the rear of the pulley.  In some cases there may not be sufficent space at the rear of the pulley for the spacer, if this is the case washers may be used instead of the spacer or you can run with the wheel directly against the pulley. 

   

 

When front-mounting spacers are used on the this pulley in the same way that they are on the 4-bolt pulley, which is shown below. Most of our customers however prefer to rear-mount their trigger wheels.

   

4-bolt pulleys

!

 The 4-bolt pulley comes in two portions, in many installations the front portion is not needed. Here we have taken the front portion off and added a stack of 4 spacers.

The wheel can now be bolted in place.

   

 

If it is necessary to retain all the belts and thus both portions of the pulley then more spacers can be added.

Crank sensor brackets

!

We supply two different sorts of crank sensor brackets - the "classic" pre-serpentine version and the "serpentine" version.  The serpentine bracket may be used on all engines but is intended for use primarily on late model engines fitted with serpentine drive belts.  The classic/pre-serpentine bracket is only suitable for the earlier style of engine.   If you are looking straight on to the crank pulley then both styles of bracket fasten to the engine at approximately 4 o'clock.
