If the engine has been removed from the vehicle and is being dismantled as described in Part B of this Chapter, any preliminary dismantling procedures can be ignored. Note that whilst it may be possible physically to overhaul items such as the piston/connecting rod assemblies with the engine in the vehicle, such tasks are not usually carried out as separate operations and usually require the execution of severaladditional procedures (not to mention the cleaning of components and of oilways). For this reason, all such tasks are classed as major overhaul procedures and are described in Part B of this Chapter. Engine information The engine is of four-cylinder, in-line type, mounted transversely at the front of the vehicle with the clutch and transmission on its left-hand end. The engine is available in two forms - the K8 engine, which is the eight-valve single overhead camshaft engine fitted to the carburettor-equipped 214 S model, and the K16 engine, which is a sixteen-valve double overhead camshaft engine which is fitted to all fuel-injected models. Apart from the different cylinder head designs, both engines are of identical construction. Apart from the pressed steel sump, the plastic timing belt covers and the aluminiumalloy cylinder head cover, the engine consists of three major castings which are the cylinder head, the cylinder block/crankcase and the crankshaft main bearing ladder. There is also an oil rail underneath the main bearing ladder and the camshaft carrier/bearing caps. All major castings are of aluminium alloy and are clamped together by ten long through-bolts which perform the dual role of cylinder head bolts and crankshaft main bearing fasteners. Since these bolts pass through the cylinder block/crankcase and the main bearing ladder, the oil rail is secured also to the main bearing ladder (by two nuts) and the main bearing ladder is secured also to the cylinder block/crankcase (by ten smaller bolts) so that the cylinder head can be removed without disturbing the rest of the engine. The passages provided for the bolts in the major castings are used as breather passages or as returns for the oil to the sump.
The crankshaft runs in five main bearings. Thrustwashers are fitted to the centre main bearing (upper half) to control crankshaft endfloat. The connecting rods rotate on horizontally- split bearing shells at their big-ends. The pistons are attached to the connecting rods by gudgeon pins which are an interference fit in the connecting rod small-end eyes. The aluminium alloy pistons are fitted with three piston rings, comprising two compression rings and an oil control ring. The cylinder bores are formed by replaceable wet liners which are located from their top ends. Two sealing rings are fitted at the base of each liner to prevent the escape of coolant into the sump. The inlet and exhaust valves are each closed by coil springs and operate in guides pressed into the cylinder head. The valve seat inserts are pressed into the cylinder head and can be renewed separately if worn. On the K8 engine, the camshaft is driven by a toothed timing belt and operates the eight valves via self-adjusting hydraulic tappets, thus eliminating the need for routine checking and adjustment of the valve clearances. The camshaft rotates in six bearings that are line- bored direct in the cylinder head and the (bolted-on) bearing caps. This means that the bearing caps are not available separately from the cylinder head and must not be interchanged with others from another engine. The distributor is driven from the left-hand end of the camshaft and the mechanical fuel pump is operated by an eccentric on the camshaft. Apart from the fact that it has two camshafts, one inlet and one exhaust, each controlling eight valves and both retained by a single camshaft carrier, the same applies to the K16 engine. On the K16 engine, the distributor is driven from the left-hand end of the inlet camshaft. The fuel pump is electrically-operated. On both engine types, the coolant pump is driven by the timing belt. Lubrication is by means of an eccentric- rotor trochoidal pump mounted on the crankshaft right-hand end. It draws oil through a strainer located in the sump and then forces it through an externally-mounted full-flow cartridge-type filter into galleries in the oil rail and cylinder block/crankcase, from where it is distributed to the crankshaft (main bearings) and camshaft(s). The big-end bearings are supplied with oil via internal drillings in the crankshaft, while the camshaft bearings and the hydraulic tappets receive a pressurised supply. The camshaft lobes and valves are lubricated by splash, as are all other engine components. Repair operations possible with the engine in the car The following work can be carried out with the engine in the vehicle: a) Compression pressure - testing.b) Cylinder head cover - removal and refitting. c) Crankshaft pulley - removal and refitting. d) Timing belt covers - removal and refitting. e) Timing belt - removal, refitting and adjustment. f) Timing belt tensioner and sprockets - removal and refitting. g) Camshaft oil seal(s) - renewal. h) Camshaft(s) and hydraulic tappets - removal, inspection and refitting. i) Cylinder head - removal and refitting. j) Cylinder head and pistons - decarbonising. k) Sump - removal and refitting. l) Oil pump - removal, overhaul and refitting. m) Crankshaft oil seals - renewal. n) Engine/transmission mountings - inspection and renewal. o) Flywheel - removal, inspection and refitting. Precautions Note that a side-effect of the above described engine design is that the crankshaft cannot be rotated once the cylinder head and block through-bolts have been slackened. During any servicing or overhaul work the crankshaft always must be rotated to the desired position before the bolts are disturbed. 2 Engine oil and filter- renewal 1Details of checking the engine oil levels and renewing both the oil and filter are contained in “Weekly Checks”and Chapter 1. 3 Compression test- description and interpretation 2 1When engine performance is down, or if misfiring occurs which cannot be attributed to the ignition or fuel systems, a compression test can provide diagnostic clues as to the engine’s condition. If the test is performed regularly it can give warning of trouble before any other symptoms become apparent. 2The engine must be fully warmed up to normal operating temperature, the battery must be fully charged and the spark plugs must be removed. The aid of an assistant will be required. 3Disable the ignition system by disconnecting the ignition HT coil lead from the distributor cap and earthing it on the cylinder block. Use a jumper lead or similar wire to make a good connection. 4Fit a compression tester to the No 1 cylinder spark plug hole. The type of tester which screws into the plug thread is preferred (see illustration).5Have the assistant hold the throttle wide open and crank the engine on the starter motor. After one or two revolutions, the compression pressure should build up to a maximum figure and then stabilise. Record the highest reading obtained. 6Repeat the test on the remaining cylinders, recording the pressure in each. 7All cylinders should produce very similar pressures. Any difference greater than that specified indicates the existence of a fault. Note that the compression should build up quickly in a healthy engine. Low compression on the first stroke, followed by gradually increasing pressure on successive strokes, indicates worn piston rings. A low compression reading on the first stroke, which does not build up during successive strokes, indicates leaking valves or a blown head gasket (a cracked head could also be the cause). Deposits on the undersides of the valve heads can also cause low compression. 8If the pressure in any cylinder is reduced to the specified minimum or less, carry out the following test to isolate the cause. Introduce a teaspoonful of clean oil into that cylinder through its spark plug hole and repeat the test. 9If the addition of oil temporarily improves the compression pressure, this indicates that bore or piston wear is responsible for the pressure loss. No improvement suggests that leaking or burnt valves, or a blown head gasket, may be to blame. 10A low reading from two adjacent cylinders is almost certainly due to the head gasket having blown between them and the presence of coolant in the engine oil will confirm this. 11If one cylinder is about 20 percent lower than the others and the engine has a slightly rough idle, a worn camshaft lobe could be the cause. 12If the compression reading is unusually high, the combustion chambers are probably coated with carbon deposits. If this is the case, the cylinder head should be removed and decarbonised. 13On completion of the test, refit the spark plugs and reconnect the ignition system.

4 Top Dead Centre (TDC) for number one piston- locating 2 General 1The crankshaft pulley, crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are provided by the factory with clear marks which align only at 90° BTDC. This positions the pistons half-way up the bores so that there is no risk of damage as the engine is reassembled. These marks do not indicate TDC. Use only the ignition timing marks, as described in this Section, to find TDC. 2Top dead centre (TDC) is the highest point in its travel up-and-down the cylinder bore that each piston reaches as the crankshaft rotates. While each piston reaches TDC both at the top of the compression stroke and again at the top of the exhaust stroke, for the purpose of timing the engine, TDC refers to the piston position (usually No 1) at the top of its compression stroke. 3While all engine reassembly procedures use the factory timing marks (90° BTDC), it is useful for several other servicing procedures to be able to position the engine at TDC. 4No 1 piston and cylinder is at the right-hand (timing belt) end of the engine. Note that the crankshaft rotates clockwise when viewed from the right-hand side of the vehicle. Locating TDC 5Disconnect the battery negative lead and remove all the spark plugs. 6Trace No 1 spark plug (HT) lead from the plug back to the distributor cap and use chalk or similar to mark the distributor body or engine casting nearest to the cap’s No 1 terminal. Undo the distributor cap retaining screws and remove the cap. 7Apply the handbrake and ensure that the transmission is in neutral, then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands. Remove the right-hand roadwheel. 8From underneath the front of the vehicle, slacken and remove the three bolts securing the bumper flange to the body. Remove the seven bolts securing the front undercover panel to the body and remove the panel to gain access to the crankshaft pulley and ignition timing marks. 9Using a spanner, or socket and extension bar, applied to the crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the notch on the crankshaft pulley’s inboard (left-hand) rim is aligned with the TDC mark on the timing belt lower cover (see Chapter 1 for details of ignition timing marks). 10With the crankshaft in this position, Nos 1 and 4 cylinders are now at TDC, one of them on the compression stroke. If the distributor rotor arm is pointing at (the previously-marked) No 1 terminal, then No 1 cylinder is correctly positioned. If the rotor arm is pointing at No 4 terminal, rotate the crankshaft one full turn (360°) clockwise until the arm points at themarked terminal. No 1 cylinder will then be at TDC on the compression stroke. 11Once No 1 cylinder has been positioned at TDC on the compression stroke, TDC for any of the other cylinders can then be located by rotating the crankshaft clockwise 180° at a time and following the firing order. 5 Cylinder head cover- removal and refitting 2 Removal 1Disconnect the battery negative lead. 2Remove the air cleaner assembly and metal intake duct. 3Using a suitable pair of pliers, release the retaining clip(s) and disconnect the breather hose(s) from the cylinder head cover (see illustrations). K8 engines 4Undo the bolts securing the HT lead mounting and air intake support brackets to the cylinder head cover, then remove the brackets and position the HT leads clear of the cover. 5Remove the two uppermost retaining screws securing the timing belt upper right- hand/outer cover to the cylinder head cover, then slacken the remaining screws and bolts, as necessary, until the timing belt cover can be prised clear of the cylinder head cover without damaging it. 6Working progressively and in the reverseof the tightening sequence (see illustration 5.14),slacken and remove the cylinder head cover retaining bolts. 7Remove the cover, peel off the rubber seal and check it for cuts, other damage or distortion. Renew the seal if necessary. K16 engines 8Undo the two spark plug cover retaining screws and lift off the cover. Disconnect the HT leads from the plugs and withdraw them from the cylinder head, along with the clip plate and the grommet which is fitted to the left-hand end of the cylinder head cover. 9Working progressively and in the reverseof the tightening sequence (see illustration 5.22), slacken and remove the cylinder head cover retaining bolts, noting the correct fitted position of the air intake duct support bracket. 10Carefully lift off the cylinder head cover, taking care not to damage the gasket. Check that the gasket sealing path is undamaged and is attached to the gasket all around its periphery. If the sealing path is undamaged, then the gasket is re-usable and should remain in place on the cover until reassembly, unless its removal is necessary for other servicing work. Refitting K8 engines 11On reassembly, carefully clean the cylinder head mating surfaces and the cover seal’s groove and remove all traces of oil. 12Seat the seal in its groove in the cover and refit the bolts, pushing each through the seal, then apply a smear of silicone-RTV sealant to each corner of the seal (see illustrations). 2A•6 Engine in-car repair procedures 5.12b . . . then refit bolts and apply sealant at locations arrowed - K8 engine5.12a Ensure seal is correctly seated in cylinder head cover groove . . . 5.3b Disconnecting breather hoses from cylinder head cover - K16 engine5.3a Disconnecting breather hose from cylinder head cover - K8 engine 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97
13Refit the cover to the cylinder head, ensuring that the seal remains seated in its groove. Fit all bolts, finger-tight. 14Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts in the sequence shown to the specified torque wrench setting (see illustration). 15Refit the timing belt upper right- hand/outer cover to the cylinder head cover and tighten all the disturbed screws and bolts to the specified torque setting. 16Refit the HT lead mounting clips and air cleaner intake support brackets to the cylinder head, then tighten the retaining bolts to the specified torque. Ensure the HT leads are correctly routed. 17Connect the breather hose to the cylinder head cover and secure it in position with the retaining clip. 18Refit the air cleaner housing and reconnect the battery negative lead. K16 engines 19On reassembly, carefully clean the mating surfaces, removing all traces of oil. If the gasket has been removed, the oil separator elements can be cleaned by removing them from the cover and washing them in solvent. Use compressed air to blow dry the elements before refitting them to the cover. 20If a new gasket is to be fitted, press it onto the cover locating dowels so that if it were laid on the camshaft carrier its stamped markings would be legible. The TOP mark should be nearest the inlet manifold and the EXH MAN SIDE mark should have its arrows pointing to the exhaust manifold (see illustrations). 21Lower the cover onto the cylinder head, ensuring that the gasket is not damaged or displaced. Install the cover retaining bolts, not forgetting to refit the air intake duct support bracket to its original position, and tighten them finger-tight. 22Working in the sequence shown, tighten the cylinder head cover retaining bolts to the specified torque setting (see illustration). 23Reconnect the HT leads to the spark plugs, then locate the clip plate and grommet in the left-hand end of the cylinder head cover. Ensure the HT leads are correctly routed then refit the spark plug cover and tighten its retaining screws to the specifiedtorque. Tighten the air intake support bracket screws. 24Connect both the breather hoses to the cylinder head cover and secure them in position with the retaining clips. 25Refit the air cleaner housing and reconnect the battery negative lead. 6 Crankshaft pulley- removal and refitting 2 Removal 1Apply the handbrake then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands. Remove the right-hand roadwheel. 2From underneath the front of the vehicle, slacken and remove the three bolts securing the bumper flange to the body. Remove the seven bolts securing the front undercover panel to the body and remove the panel. 3If necessary, rotate the crankshaft until the relevant timing marks align. 4Remove the power steering pump and/or alternator drivebelt(s) (as applicable). 5To prevent crankshaft rotation while the pulley bolt is unscrewed, select top gear and have an assistant apply the brakes firmly. If the engine has been removed from thevehicle, lock the flywheel using the arrangement shown (see illustration 18.2). 6Unscrew the pulley bolt, noting the special washer behind it, then remove the pulley from the crankshaft. Refitting 7Align the crankshaft pulley centre notch with the locating lug on the crankshaft timing belt sprocket then refit the washer, ensuring that its flat surface is facing the pulley. Fit the retaining bolt (see illustration). 8Lock the crankshaft by the method used on removal and tighten the pulley retaining bolt to the specified torque setting. 9Refit the power steering pump and/or alternator drivebelt(s) (as applicable) and adjust them as described in Chapter 1. 10Refit the undercover panel and roadwheel then lower the vehicle to the ground. 7 Timing belt covers- removal and refitting 4 Removal Upper right-hand (outer) cover 1Slacken the bolt situated at the cover’s bottom corner, immediately behind the engine/gearbox unit right-hand mounting bracket.

2Unscrew the remaining cover retaining bolts and withdraw the cover, noting the rubber seal fitted to the mounting bracket edge. Note that if the cover is not slotted at the bottom corner screw’s location, the screwwill have to be removed fully. If this is the case, the cover can be slotted to ease future removal and refitting (see illustrations). Lower cover 3Remove the crankshaft pulley. 4Remove the cover retaining screws, including the one which also secures the upper cover’s bottom front corner. Remove the cover whilst noting the rubber seal fitted to its mounting bracket edge (see illustration). Upper left-hand (inner) cover 5Remove the timing belt. 6Remove the camshaft sprocket(s) and the timing belt tensioner. 7Unscrew the bolt securing the cover to the coolant pump. 8On K16 engines, unbolt the engine/gearbox unit right-hand mounting bracket from the cylinder block/crankcase. 9Remove the remaining cover retaining bolts and withdraw the cover (see illustrations). Refitting Upper right-hand (outer) cover 10Refitting is the reverse of the removal procedure. Ensure that the seal fits correctly between the cover and the mounting bracket and that the cover edges mate correctly with those of the inner cover and (K8 engines only) cylinder head cover (see illustration). 11Tighten the cover fasteners to the specified torque setting. Lower cover 12Refitting is the reverse of the removal procedure. Ensure that the seal fits correctly between the cover and the mounting bracket and tighten the cover fasteners to the specified torque setting. Upper left-hand (inner) cover 13Refitting is the reverse of the removal procedure. Tighten all disturbed fasteners to their specified torque wrench settings. 8 Timing belt- removal, inspection, refitting and adjustment 4 Removal 1Disconnect the battery negative lead. 2To improve access to the timing belt, remove the expansion tank mounting bolts then free the coolant hose from any relevant retaining clips and position the tank clear of the engine. On models equipped with power- assisted steering, undo all the power steering hose retaining clip bolts then slide the fluid reservoir out of its retaining clip and position it 2A•8 Engine in-car repair procedures 7.10 Ensure timing belt upper right-hand (outer) cover engages correctly with cylinder head cover - K8 engine7.9c Removing timing belt upper left-hand (inner) cover - K16 engine7.9b Timing belt upper left-hand (inner) cover fasteners (arrowed) - K16 engine 7.9a Timing belt upper left-hand (inner) cover fasteners (arrowed) - K8 engine 7.4 Removing timing belt lower cover7.2b Timing belt upper right-hand (outer) cover fasteners (arrowed) - K16 engine, raised for clarity 7.2a Timing belt upper right-hand (outer) cover fasteners - K8 engine 1 Slacken screw - cover should be slotted 2 Remove fasteners 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 If the timing belt is to be re- used, use white paint or similar to mark the direction of rotation on the belt.
clear of the timing belt covers. Take great care not to place any undue strain on hoses and mop up any spilt fluid immediately. 3Remove the timing belt upper right-hand (outer) cover. 4Firmly apply the handbrake then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands. Remove the right-hand roadwheel 5From underneath the front of the vehicle, slacken and remove the three bolts securing the bumper flange to the body. Remove the seven bolts securing the front undercover panel to the body and remove the panel to gain access to the crankshaft pulley bolt. 6Using a suitable spanner or socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the long white- painted mark on the crankshaft pulley’s outboard (right-hand) face is aligned with the single, separate mark on the timing belt lower cover so that the crankshaft is in the 90° BTDC position (see Chapter 1 for details of the pulley/cover marks) (see illustration). 7Check that the camshaft sprocket mark(s) align as described in paragraph 15, showing that Nos 1 and 4 cylinders are at 90° BTDC so that there is no risk of the valves contacting the pistons during dismantling and reassembly. If the camshaft sprocket mark(s) are 180° out, rotate the crankshaft through one complete turn (360°) to align the marks as described (see illustration). 8On K16 engines, use the tool described in Section 9 to lock up the camshaft sprocketsso that they cannot move under valve spring pressure when the timing belt is removed. 9Remove the crankshaft sprocket and timing belt lower cover. 10Position a trolley jack with a wooden spacer beneath the sump then gently jack it up to take the weight of the engine. 11Slacken and remove the engine/gearbox unit right-hand mounting through-bolt and nut and the mounting-to-bracket nuts. Remove the mounting, along with the two rubber washers which are fitted on each side of the mounting. On K8 engines only, unscrew the retaining bolts securing the bracket to cylinder block/crankcase and remove it from the engine unit (see illustration). 12Slacken both the timing belt tensioner pulley Allen screw and the tensioner backplate clamp bolt through half a turn each, then push the pulley assembly downwards to remove all the tension from the timing belt. Hold the tensioner pulley in this position and re-tighten the backplate clamp bolt securely (see illustration). 13Slip the belt off the sprockets (see illustration). Do not rotate the crankshaft until the timing belt has been refitted. Inspection 14Check the timing belt carefully for any signs of uneven wear, splitting or oil contamination and renew it if there is the slightest doubt about its condition. If the engine is undergoing an overhaul and hascovered more than 48 000 miles (80 000 km) since the original belt was fitted, renew the belt as a matter of course, regardless of its apparent condition. If signs of oil contamination are found, trace the source of the oil leak and rectify it, then wash down the engine timing belt area and all related components to remove all traces of oil. Refitting 15On reassembly, thoroughly clean the timing belt sprockets and check that they are aligned as follows. It is most important that these marks are aligned exactly as this sets valve timing. Note that in this position, Nos 1 and 4 cylinders are at 90° BTDC so that there is no risk of the valves contacting the pistons during dismantling and reassembly. a) Camshaft sprocket on K8 engine - The EX line and the mark stamped on the sprocket rim must be at the front (looking at the sprocket from the right-hand side of the vehicle) and aligned exactly with the cylinder head top surface (see illustration). b) Camshaft sprockets on K16 engine - Both EXHAUST arrow marks must point to the rear (looking at the sprockets from the right-hand side of the vehicle) with the IN lines and the sprocket rim marks aligned exactly with the line on the timing belt upper left-hand/inner cover (representing the cylinder head top surface). See illustration 8.7.

c) Crankshaft sprocket - The two dots must be positioned on each side of the raised rib on the oil pump body (see illustration). 16If a used belt is being refitted, ensure that the arrow mark made on removal points in the normal direction of rotation. Fit the timing belt over the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, ensuring that the belt front run (and, on K16 engines, the top run) is taut, ie: all slack is on the tensioner pulley side of the belt, then fit the belt over the coolant pump sprocket and tensioner pulley. Do not twist the belt sharply during refitting and ensure that the belt teeth are correctly seated centrally in the sprockets and that the timing marks remain in alignment (see illustration).. 17Slacken the tensioner backplate clamp bolt and check that the tensioner pulley moves to tension the belt. If the tensioner assembly is not free to move under spring tension, rectify the fault or the timing belt will not be correctly tensioned. 18On K16 engines, remove the camshaft sprocket locking tool. 19On K8 engines, refit the engine/gearbox unit right-hand mounting bracket, tightening its bolts to the specified torque wrench setting. 20On all engines, refit the timing belt lower cover and the crankshaft pulley. 21Using a suitable spanner or socket, rotate the crankshaft two full turns clockwise to settle and tension the belt. Realign the crankshaft pulley (90° BTDC) mark and check that the sprocket timing mark(s) are still correctly aligned. 22If all is well, first tighten the tensioner pulley backplate clamp bolt to the specified torque, then tighten the tensioner pulley Allen screw to the specified torque. 23Reassemble the engine/gearbox unit right-hand mounting, ensuring that the rubber washers are correctly located, then tighten the mounting nuts and bolts to their specified torque settings. Remove the jack from underneath the engine unit. 24Refit the front undercover panel and roadwheel, then lower the vehicle to the ground. 25Refit the timing belt upper right-hand (outer) cover.26Where necessary, refit the power steering fluid reservoir to the mounting bracket and secure the hydraulic hose clamps in position with the retaining bolts. 27Refit the coolant expansion tank and tighten the mounting bolts securely. Secure the coolant hose in position with any necessary retaining clips and reconnect the battery negative lead. Adjustment 28As the timing belt is a ‘fit-and-forget’ type, the manufacturer states that tensioning need only be carried out when a belt is (re)fitted. Nore-tensioning is recommended once a belt has been fitted and therefore this operation is not included in the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. 29If the timing belt is thought to be incorrectly tensioned, then adjust the tension as described in paragraphs 1 to 7, 17, 21, 22 and 24 to 27 above. 30If the timing belt has been disturbed, adjust its tension following the same procedure, omitting as appropriate the irrelevant preliminary dismantling/reassembly steps. 9 Timing belt tensioner and sprockets- removal, inspection and refitting 4 Note:This Section describes as individual operations the removal and refitting of the components concerned.
