Find snake. Extract oil. Use oil to lubricate seller's bottom. Insert chip up seller's bottom.....

Joking aside, there are a few owners on here that have used them. However, in a 19 year old V8, you will be better off doing a full maintenance program before even thinking about it. Bee Utey's Bosch ignition module conversion, injector clean/change, compression test to see if your rings are stuffed, take a look at cam and lifter wear.....

A Rover V8 will only become a ball of fire with some heavy duty attention, it'll never be neck snappingly quick.
