actually the engine is a honda engine and has a fault with the headgasket moving when the engine is on, it is made worse when the revs are higher and consiquently has a average life of about 50,000 miles, honda corrected this problem by using a different material for the gaskets but rover didnt, mabye this was because they could earn more money in repairs or what but heating the engine up with only work for so long till the gasket cracks and fails, and yes i did own a mg zr and the gasket went.

ACTUALLY the engine isn't hondas engine its been rovers since the beginning. About the headgaskets that part is true but MY engine has had a full stripdown and every gasket replaced with the uprated ones, new re-enforced oil rail, steel dowels etc... It wasnt Honda that corrected the problem it was Powertrain, as to what the problem was theres many different problems that add up to cause HGF. Small coolant capacity, aluminium head that expands more than the block, plastic locating dowels etc...

[JGUNN06]

No it wont, not when its had everything stripped down and replaced with uprated gasket, head bolts, oil rail, steal dowels etc..

the v6 in the mg zt is a k-series hence it being called the kv6

the only difference is that it is in a V configuration and it doesnt suffer the usual HG issues

[acrocap]

actually JGUNN06 your wrong its not a HONDA engine. its a KSERIES ENGINE... rover only used honda engines in the late 80's early 90's

@Mrboombastic50 I'd check before posting shit bud. It's a Rover K series engine! And the ZR engine is no comparison so don't post shit you don't know about!....... ACTUALLY!

[unlockingjames]

the mg has not got a Honda engine it has a BMW/mg built engines or ford mustang in v8 models

[strobeone]

@JGUNN06 true, the K series was built while honda was still partnered with rover. the engine was a 100% British design. head gasket failures were common in cars that were not maintained. I have seen mint 15 year old rovers still running on the original head gasket. The main cause of the failure was head-shuffle but was corrected towards the end of MGR, but you can just fit the uprated gaskets etc and you should be good for the life of the car. Mate lovely ZT

@JGUNN06 Not like headgaskets are going to break the bang anyway!!

The cars lush

Put a MLS uprated head gasket on one, I have on mine then had it it remapped to 200 bhp . It will be as good as gold as long as you dont rev the nuts off it from cold.

I wish to drive from Europe for myself MG ZT 260 or MG ZT 190. Who can help, write!!!;)

Properly looked after the K -series engine is a reliable unit.
