Any v8 rover motor was fitted with hardened valve seats and can be run ,depending on compession ratio on most fuels.
I have used leaded, unleaded ,premium unleaded, lpg without any motor problems after 300k

I just had the mixer re shimmed and i dont think they adjusted the power valve.i also had a 83 3.9 carbie rangie that returned between 350&400 ks to 75 litres what i hear most of these injected rover motors luv to chew lpg
thinking about going carbie .but ill adjust power valve first .and by the way all of my ks are highway i work half hour south of cranny all highway no stop starting :roll:
For those interested I now have taken some pics ..not all good but ok have a look and I hope you all can get something out of it
Take care

Last year I went over to Perth to visit Brad - OK, I went on holiday but ended up having dinner with Brad :roll:
We left Sydney on Thursday morning on a non-stop flight and arrived in Perth on Sunday arvo.
At least it seemed like Sunday arvo - there was bugger all traffic in the Perth CBD. Lucky mongrels. And to think I moved from Carnarvon (WA) to Sydney in the 70's instead of moving to Perth. :oops:
