After swapping the engine on a rover 200 the other week due to hgf.
I was greeted by some delicious chocolate milkshake type substance in the other half's rover's expansion tank.
So after a good read o0f the haynes manual I set to stripping the head and associated gubbins off!
Loooooooooooooooong head bolts!
Pretty straight forward for the most part, till it came to timing the thing back up again.
Those forward thinking rover engineers in their wisdom, decided to put the crank timing marks in such a position that I had to remove the alternator belt, then the engine mount and drop the engine by 3 inches or so to make it visible lol.
Seems to be running good again now.
Took about 5 hours total, not bad for a first attempt.
Dunno how much a garage would charge for doing it.
