Rover 214si

Is there not a gasket on the inlet which fails and allows water into the cylinder on these?

Taken the manifold off and resealed it, running on 4 again but still steaming a lot, taken the plug out and looks dry though.

Probably false hope hahaha.

I did manage to break the fill point round the back of the engine while doing it though, so covered that in goo and will have to wait a day or two to brim it and test properly. Will let you know the result!

Now that's a proper rover! none of this posh rover shite! these used to get the Tseries engines dropped in, you could even drop the vvc engine in from the coupe.
Just a shame these were binned before their time.
give you a tip. put on the later kseries mpi manifold and down pipe, as that opens these up, don't bother converting it to mpi as its not worth the f*ck on!

Interesting... how to you run the SPI and the MPI manifold together? I wouldn't have thought that would work.
