Has anyone worked on a K series engine ?

I'm not surprised you're a millionaire DV, is there anything on these engines that is any good and doesn't need replacing?

There is plenty that is good about the K series, as long as your expectations are realistic and tempered by properly informed comment rather than generalised conjecture. The better informed you are the more likely you are to plan accordingly and embark on the right course.

Pistons fail regularly in much lower powered engines, the VVC (145BHP) had a habit of popping pistons which is why the later versions had tougher ones fitted. Caterham supersport engines at < 140BHP suffer with piston failure. The ring lands collapse at >160BHP or above 7400.

They must be made of marsh mallow ! lol

Lee, yours are the improved Trophy ones, not the 120HP and 145HP VVC pistons.

turbocharge or supercharge it....job done lol

I don't think it's strong enough (generally).

The MG6 uses a (pretty much) K-series engine which is turbocharged.

My Rover K is supercharged with a Rotrex C30-94
