I had a Rover V8 motor rebuilt and stroked to 4.2 litre for a TR7-TR8
conversion a few years ago.
In about 18 months, the spiggot bush began to spin in the motor. Everyone I
asked then suggested that this happened rarely, but when it did it indicated
the spiggot had not been soaked in oil for long enough before being
installed.
A different installer, careful fitting, longer soaking in oil, same result.
I've now down just over 100,000 km since the original engine rebuild, and the
fourth spiggot bush has begun to spin.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Any ideas what could be causing it?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
