Unhappy No Joy on a Kindle/PDF copy online. Be on the lookout

Be on the lookout for an electronic copy. I couldn't find an active download site online, but I will keep trying and post it here should I find one.

I've got a request across libraries in Australia for this book to loan. Can't find it for sale as Veloce Publishers have it as out of print and the preview only gives first half of the book. You'd think a pdf was available to purchase.
I've left an enquiry with the publishers for this. I wonder if its time to setup a petition list for signatures to the publishers to reprint it.

"I have heard folks on here mention the 4.0 block is more reliable than the 4.6." That is a myth, or a biased, misinformed opinion not based on fact, though it, in part, depends on what one means by the term "dependable." " How to Power Tune Rover V8 Engine," clearly said, rightly so, that "reliability problems in Rover engines are due to variations in amount of aluminum surrounding the liners," and it should have taught all of us this, if we were paying attention, the 4.0 blocks, had somewhat thinner aluminum walls behind the cylinder liners (most code marked blue by Rover) than the 4.6 blocks had (code marked red by Rover, meaning the thickest walls behind liners). Also, the blue coded 4.0 blocks, following one or two overheating issues, cracked that aluminum behind the liners 80% of the time, freeing up liners to move, while the red coded 4.6 liter blocks, following two or more overheating issue, cracked behind liners only 15% of the time. So, you tell me, what is more "reliable?"
