Good engine book

[plewis66]

I ordered the Haynes Rover V8 book from amazon, and was incredibly distressed to find out it was a history book!

Is there a more normal haynes manual that will show me detailed stuf about the 350i engine?

I'm particualrly interested in the injection system. Not because I intend taking it apart, but because I've never worked on an injection engine before, and want to at least have some idea of what goes on in that big grey casting, and those tricky boxes of wires...

Your best bet might be an SD1 Haynes Manual from somwhere like Rimmer Brothers, they may do a V8 manual too,I know they do a V8 parts catalogue because I have one.

As a general interest book on the Rover V8 I bought "Tuning Rover V8' by David Hardcastle ISBM 0-85429-933-5.
Not what you are after but worth a look.

'pebbledash' lent this to me recently - it's brilliant.
Note this comes as a pair of books.
One is history orientated and the other is out and out tuning. However they refer to each other a fair bit as the first book defined terms, etc.

The Haynes Manual for the Range Rover 1970 - 1992 covers the v8 with lots of supplements at the back for different specs if this is of any help.

You might find this site of some use, it has a few EFI wiring diagrams etc.
