Glen,
No completely off topic.... this (2002 ) model year is the last year for the
4.6L Rover, according to my latest issue of Automobile Magazine.  A new Ford
designed replacment for the RR is supposed to roll in the following year,
with a Ford engine... ironically a sohc modular V8 ( ala Mustang) of 4.6L
displacement.   Forty two years of the little alloy engine, quite a
testament to the design and continued improvement....
Curtis.
