Hiya Rob,
Pain in theee asss ain't I lol.
These valve seals are a reet tw@t m8 but getting there. Trouble is I need it sorting for Tuesaday morning as the Daughter wants her car for work. I'm doing ok on the seals, but because I've taken the Camshaft carrier off I need new gasket sealant. Now I asked the muppets on the Rover MG ZR forum and a member stated I need some special shit which is this http://www.onlinebearings.co.uk/loctite-574-flange-sealant-fast-cure-pr-16417.html
Well when I took the carrier off yesterday when she had her headgasket renewed last year they must have used some black gasket sealant as that's all I see on the mating surfaces.
When I was at the motorfactors this morning they wanted £13.50 for some locktight sealant which looks like what was used last year. So when I asked if that's ok to seal the two surfaces the fella on the Rover forum said big NO NO it needs to be.
NoYou must use an anaerobic sealant such as the one specified by Rover.
What's you're thought Rob on this because no motor factors open now till Tuesday and I need this sorted for Tuesday so Halfrauds are open if I get desperate and was looking at this, same as the motor factors this morning http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_165466_langId_-1_categoryId_165691

@trebor4460 wrote:result there Tim, bit of improvisation every time.
Thanks Rob,
Just been for a blast to pick the manual up, should help me loads now m8, really wanting to sort this for our Emma, she is going to order the valve stem seals and I think she said she is off next week for 4 days so that should give me a bit of time to work on it as I've never done these before
PS....Just recorded my 16 mile round trip, passing the cages here and there as it's chokka here with the nice weather. Will try and get one uploaded shortly -
Thanks Rob, yeah the seals are £12 for 16 so think I'll get them replaced.
Just off out of Town to pick up a Haynes for her car as our local Halfrauds has sold out of her model.
You won't believe the fun i've had today...got my bike MOT'd then decided to go Partco and another motor factors for new leads for her. 2 of them no probs but the ones that are fixed to the two coils they said I need to purchase 2 new coils as the cap don't come off so I came home took the coil in that sits onto of number two plug and pulled the rubber sleeve of. All I need is a new spring and the top clip that fits onto the spark plug, they said nope we don't sell them you have to buy 2 new coils with the two caps supplied at £55 + vat.
Thought sod that, went back to halfrauds and bought 2 standard HT leads and took the ends off and stuck them on the end of her old ones and she's fired up no problem, and they cost us £3.50 -
Happy days now m8...looks fab
-
The plug starting from the left is plug 1
-
Fookin ell not what I wanted to read fellas but there you go
We have no manual but I asked what the figure should be on the Rover forum and the reply was ......Minimum pressure 10.3 bar
Maximum variation between cylinders 1.4 bar
The usual oil burning problem with a K series is the valve stem oil
seals. The bores and pistons are pretty bomb proof unless they have been
abused by over heating.
I sent her to Halfrauds earlier today she bought new plugs but they didn't have HT Leads which hers are shagged cpl of cracks and now won't push onto the plugs so she fires up on 2 or 3 lol.
The flippin smoke that came out of it for 5 minutes after putting oil down the plug chamber, smoked the Street out haha.
Partco tomorrow and purchase these funnt leads...you have 2 coils which each one has 2 plug leads was going to take a piccy but my m8 came round so the job stopped.
I've taken some pics of a fecked plug and the condition of the others.
Thanks Rob..Neill...and Bezzer, just gonna upload some pics -
Update 13.00hrs 22nd April.
Right here we go,
Took the cover off the engine so I could access the Spark Plug.
Removed plug 1 looked ok {grey} When I removed number 2 plug it was full of fresh oil up the thread and also the center bit where the spark is is beginning to crumble so it's new plugs.
Number 3 plug was the same as number 1 and not too bad.
Number 4 was the same as number 2 plug but where the spark comes out that was ok too.
Compression test as follows.
Warmed the engine up and this was the 1st test dry.
No1 = 220 psi
No2 = 210 psi
No3 = 200 psi
No4 = 210 psi
Added a drop of oil to seal the piston rings.
No1 = 230 psi
No2 = 215 psi
No3 = 225 psi
No4 = 215 psi
Is this deffo pointing to the Valve Stem Seals then ?
Ohh and her HT leads will have to be replaced as they wont push onto the top of the plugs anymore but that's minor detail.
All the best on Good Friday m8's -

Hey I'm glad I asked here now, thanks Rob for the link and Bezzer thanks for the write up m8, yeah it's common on these so I've read. Just feel down as the Daughter has had bad luck with her motor. I'm gonna take a deeper look later if she gets home handy
Thanks m8's -
Nice one Bezzer, feel a lot better now then if he knocks a few quid off for a m8

That made me larff Rob

Many thanks Rob
Yeah hopefully tomorrow evening when she gets home I'll get the compression tester to verify the problem for sure.
Our Emma say's when the car is warmed up and on the motorway she say there is no smoke.
I'm made up with the latter Rob, might be worth a go then like you say if it is them
Thanks Rob
