The Mad Hat Man said:Aren't the head bolts of the "stretch" type which go through the block? If so, they should never be retightened as they are designed to only be used once.
I believe that is part of the new super redesigned 1.8 K series engine that it has a new bottom end. I did read about it on the Rover forum, but cant remember exactly where (signs of dementia).

The thermostat from QED, isnt for 1.8? the housing is diff to KV6. KV6 housing has 3 ingress and 1 egress. 1.8 has 2 ingress and 1 egress, looks like Y shape.The Mad Hat Man said:I have just been told (by QED) that the gaskets to use on a KV6 are the MG-Rover pn LVB101630 as used on the MG-ZT.
Having read the article http://www.sandsmuseum.com/cars/elise/thecar/engine/kingk.html as previously mentioned, I am going to fit the remote thermostat from QED (£125), however this needs to be proved on a KV6.
Looks like its down to me!![]()
