Having had a bit of a rethink in terms of what I need from a 7, I’ve decided to sell the all steel Roger King xflow engine currently fitted to my car.

The rolling chassis will be re-fitted with a ‘standard’ 1700 Supersprint engine and sold separately later this year.

Also for sale separately is a new BGH 5 speed box with long first supplied and fitted earlier this year by Chris @ 7 Workshop

Engine Spec

Modified 264 Cam

AX Block

1800 (85.9mm) forged pistons

Full dry sump system with brand new hoses

All steel engine internals with Doug Kidde crank and arrow rods

Brand new unleaded ‘race’ head (ported and flowed by Angelo through Chris Wheeler @ 7 Workshop)

Weber DCEO 45's with K&N Filters

Weber Alpha mapped 3D system

Brand new (<100miles ago) QH alternator

Electric fuel pump

Figures: 193HP @ 7400rpm (data charts available from rolling road session at Northampton Motorsports in Apr 2006)

148lb/ft torque

The engine has been checked over by Chris at 7 Workshop on its visits for upgrades etc.

I understand that it was one of, if not, the last ‘big’ xflow that Roger King built and has provided many entertaining laps of Cadwell Park during 3 track days and regular blats in the Peak District.

I am looking for offers c.£2750-£3000 for the engine and £600 for the gearbox.

Please mail me offline to discuss or alternatively you can contact me on 0780 167 0765 (if not answered please leave a message)

I live nr Derby and work nr Leicester – something can be worked out ref transport

Hi Phil - did you get my blatmail 🤔

well after 3 years I'm reversing the process and need a standard 1700 s/spring engine (and preferably std 5 speed box) in order to return H64DPN to its std spec)

the 1800cc all steel 193HP Roger King xflow currently in situ to be sold separately

Rog

I have years/decades worth of the above that need to go to a good home.....(you guessed it I'm moving house )

They'll go on email or I''l drop Autocar a note for their letters page - just wondered if anyone else wanted them.

Clearly I'd like them all to go and when I return from a EuroBlat 17 June I'll list them all. The earliest is April 1977 with a Brabham BMW F1 car on the front. I'll happily let a years worth at a time go but not one copy at a time

similar comments to PAC, my car has been driven hard on Cadwell/Oulton trackdays for the last 3 years and at the Ring - I've never seen this type of pressure drop at high revs. I also have an oil cooler.

just got back from a 30 mile blat up and down the local d/carriageway and noted the following:

80mph

4k rpm

65 lb/in2

80 deg c

Peter - thx, have emailed back

Rog

that's just what I was thinking....so once the new alternator is fitted I have a nice little blat route that should allow me to test it.....and see what happens

Rog

Peter

I've done a search on cavitation so understand the principle. I just wonder why this would have happened at Donington but not at Cadwell in April, Oulton Park last year, or at The Ring a couple of years ago

Rog

thanks Peter - not sure of the make. I'll take a picture and send it. But it's about 18inch tall by 8inch diameter - baffle about half way down

Rog

on Donington track day yesterday generally going well after about 3x 20 min sessions with engine running in high rev renage 6-8k and beyond at times...my passneger suddenly points to the pressure gauge which has dropped to 20 from the usual steady 75ish.

in the paddock take the oil tank lid off and the oil seems hot - steam etc. No obvious damage to the oil cooler .

track day at Cadwell a few weeks ago - no problems at all.

I put the car on the trailer and drove 25 mins home. Starting the car to go up the drive and into the garage the pressure seemed ok again at 70ish.

The engine is all steel 1800 xflow with steel internals etc. New Mobil 1 about 1000mile ago

due to go on a big Euro road trip on 9 June so i'm a bit concerned

any ideas

The original 16 yr old alternator on my car is looking a bit sick. Is there a specific car it is off eg any 1980 Escort/Fiesta?

Rog

Mike

I'll take the CR500s please..and if Hankler happens to back out of the un-tyred 13" I'll take those as well please.

I've delivered something to you before I think - Hodgetts Lane 🤔

Rog

I was in silver Legacy Estate - you guys were turning right off A608 towards Ilkeston on A609. Nr Smalley Rose and Crown pub.

thought I'd remembered the reg plate obviously not 🙆🏻

Hi Rob

as you've probably guessed - bit of a typo on the last posting. I meant the seats! doh ❗

Rog

Hi Rob

I'll take the doors please - I desparately need the headrests

Rog

PS - Mr W has just fitted new box with new ratios to match the engine

Hi Geoff

any spaces left for Oulton?

Cheers

Rog

OAP

think this is what you're looking for 😶‍🌫️
