agripper Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I need the parts bnook and maintainance manuals for teh Centurion MK3 for the RR Meteor engine. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one. I have a Pratt and Whitny twin wasp parts book and also a RR Griffon engine manual that I can trade for these. Or I can take whoever lets me have teh manuals for a run in the BARV. I need to get these ASAP as this is one of the big jobs I need to do on the engine so I can take it to War and Peace next year. Also need a head gasket for a RR Meteor? :readbook: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Barrell Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I can photocopy bits if you need it but I have nothing spare. Meteors don't have a head gasket in the conventional sense and it was not intended to seperate the head from the block other than at major overhaul.

Grumpy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Meteor Servicing Manual here complements of Militant Graham http://www.aecmilitant.co.uk/downloads/meteormanual.pdf :-D Better to right click it and "save as" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 That only applies to the Meteor I and III. The 4B in Centurion is different in many ways though broadly similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agripper Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I would guess that mine is a 4B engine as it was refitted in the 60's when it became a BARV. There is an intermitant flame comming from what looks to be the base of the cylinder head on the right hand bank. , it does not seem to be a loos plugs which had been my first thought. But without the parts book it is difficult to work out what goes where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Could be a manifold gasket leak if it's on the outside of the head. If it is leaking at the head joint, it's likely the liner and/ or head are damaged. My first thought would be exhaust gasket. Keeping the exhausts tight was a problem in service. All Centurions had a 4B with the AVRE having a 4BH which had a hydraulic pump fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
