Hi All,
Just in case this is not known a shim is available which is fitted at the base of the Cylinder Liner which raises the liner high by .003 and therefore over comes the low Cylinder Liner height problem if and when it may arise.
It is available from www.ukmgparts.com
Hope this information is of assistance and for those already in the know just carry on with your knitting.
There is an excellent thread on the other side from a Norwegian member there showing detailed pictures of his repair which makes excellent reading and show what can be done to ensure a good repair to 1.8 if a Head Gasket problem should arise. Thread link http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=406154
He was somewhat let down by the supplier of the replacement Cylinder Head which turned out to be of poor quality. However he seems to have mainly overcome this problem and his car is running well.
Regards,
Telfer.
PS Sorry for mentioning the other side but it is a good example of what can be done to ensure a good standard of repair. Also it illustrates and details the insides of the K Series 1.8 very well indeed, and thought it would be of benefit to members of this Forum. T.
