Thank you! Do these cars suffer from dropped liners like the k series? Nope. If the engine is in good running order and all your repairs are with components purchased and fitted to specification, the T16 is bullet proof. As you've probably found out by now, a head gasket failure is pretty much alwa...

Klinger Elring is the gasket to buy. E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310117875544 Read the small print at the bottom of the listing as there is a difference in the two cam cover gasket types for 1995 models and this may be applicable to you. The T16 overhaul manual is an integral part of Rover Serv...

How is this done and what will be needed for this swap?

Interesting! I thought so many resources online say the opposite. Is anyone else able to confirm this

Does anyone have a guide for changing the t series head gasket. There are abundant resources for the k series but nothing much for the t series.

If not could someone create one, it would need to cover recommended gasket type, what to do about the dowels?

This would be a great resource.

The radiator fans are now working but when the sensor is unplugged I assumed the fans would become active.

I have the t series engine which I think has two sensors? One on the thermostat and one at the side of the radiator?

Is this normal behaviour?

I also noticed that the HT lead and threads of c1 had oil on it, not a massive amount of oil.

Also the car is not running rough after changing HT lead

First thing that strikes me is those compressions are a little low… Yes indeed the tester is a Chinese tester not sure how accurate the readings usually are on these? Have you used the Chinese tester? Was it accurate? The good thing at least all cylinders have the same compression. So either all is...

As Paul says, I would get the issue properly diagnosed before firing a parts cannon at the car. The following tests are a good start; -Cooling system pressure test (this will hopefully identify the location of the coolant loss) -A “block” sniff test; this detects exhaust gases in the cooling system...

Where can you get hoses and pipes for a 420 gsi touring t series 2.0 non turbo.
