	Rover (car): Just the facts... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Rover is a manufacturer of automobile (4-wheeled motor vehicle; usually propelled by an internal combustion engine) s in the United Kingdom (A monarchy in northwestern Europe occupying most of the British Isles; divided into England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland).
		This was the beginning of the end for the traditional Rover, as the Solihull based company's heritage drowned beneath the infamous industrial relations and managerial problems that beset the British motor industry throughout the 1970s (The decade from 1970 to 1979).
		It was later denied by MG Rover Group (additional info and facts about MG Rover Group), although the company admitted that it had engaged PriceWaterhouseCoopers (additional info and facts about PriceWaterhouseCoopers), the accountancy (The occupation of maintaining and auditing records and preparing financial reports for a business) firm, to advise on its current financial situation.

		The Rover K is not a CIB engine: its design consists of 4 separate cast iron liners sandwiched between a light alloy head and a light alloy block.
		Fitting the thermostat on the engine outlet could solve the thermostat dynamic issue (because of the blending/dampening effect of the coolant inside the engine and the engine itself) and the static issue (as the coolant temperature at the engine outlet is higher compared to the inlet).
		The new MG Rover thermostat seems to be the result of a comprehensive re-work of the cooling system on the K. Although keeping the original layout (thermostat on the return path from the radiator, bulb in the bypass flow when closed) its design is improved in all aspects.

	Lotus Elise: Rover K Series
		Similarly, there are engine builders up and down the country who look upon the K as all too breakable in their experience, and the letters pages of the motor sport press have, in their time, been full of stories of cracked liners, blown gaskets, spun bearings, and in fact all manner of woe.
		This engine was beset with many problems as a result of this rather convoluted conception, and was described recently by Richard Meaden in EVO magazine as “coughing and farting at low revs, hollering in pain at high revs, with nothing in between”.
		I have spoken to all the design engineers and Tim Seiple, who would be responsible for the federalisation and it is quite clear that in the same way that Ford asked for the KV6 to be federalised, federalising the K would not be a problem and that there are a huge number of misapprehensions.

	Lotus Elise: Toyota 2ZZ-GE Engine
		Rover's K engine was a clean sheet of paper design with some innovative features such as through bolting of the bottom and top ends through the block and lightweight construction.
		While the Rover K engine had some innovative features and was relatively light, it was never designed to meet U.S. emissions requirements.
		The K engine was a relatively new design in 1995 when Lotus proposed its use in the original Elise.

	AutoWeb - Rover's 100th Anniversary
		Rover built another experimental small car, the 700cc two-seater M1, and in 1948 also brought out the first Land Rover, with the engine from the 60 saloon in a four wheel drive chassis fitted with simple utility bodywork of aluminium: the start of the Land Rover brand.
		The 1905 Rover 6hp had rack and pinion steering, as did the 1919 Rover 8hp, although it was not until 1976 that Rover returned to this type of steering mechanism with the SD1 3500.
		Rover’s first diesel engine came a little later than 1913 - in fact it was developed in the late 1940s, in the form of a V12 developing 470bhp.

	The K series engine
		The K series was designed with transverse installation in mind, fitting it in a fore-aft installation is not without its problems with the engine suffering badly from oil surge where the oil is moved away from the pickup by the lateral 'G' forces generated when cornering hard.
		K series heads as they leave the factory are not always finished to the degree intended, quite often the waterways are left quite badly fettled to the extent that the waterway area is a lot less the the original production design.
		Since the K series has a very low volume of coolant it is necessary, especially on the exhaust side of the head, to improve the water passageways by opening to the maximum extent as originally envisaged by the designers.

		Caterham Cars have an excellent relationship with Rover and it is this that has ensured the longevity of supply of the engine for use in the 7.
		Technically speaking, the 1.6 engine with its still short stroke is a smoother unit than the longstroke 1.8 because it is more “square” in configuration ie the bore width is more similar to the crank stroke.
