The HG has gone again after about 5K miles. Steam out of exhaust , coolant from header , and massive coolant consumption . Took the head off, there's indentation by the fire rings and a strange build up of crystallized(?) pink coolant in the waterways and under parts of the HG.
I have been in contact with a local MG specialist for a re-furbished head but my question is: can I use a 1.8k head and cams intended for an MG TF on the Rover 1.8 Turbo? Can I swap the cams over if they are different? Am I completely off beam with my ideas? Sorry that's three questions. Thanks.
