Anyhoo - no, the K-series to which I refer is the
Rover one and not the
Honda one - so it rotates the conventional way etc.
It can be confusing as at the time the K-series was being introduced Honda and Rover were development partners, but the Rover K is not the same. Its a very light engine with low levels of coollant etc and a sandwhich construction.
Unfortunately it also got a reputation for head gasket failure - so much so that the MGF was sometimes known as the MGHGF.
The 8v 1.1 (60hp) and 1.4 (75hp) seem reasonably reliable though.
