Which is what it is. Like I've said, I have plenty of experience of small
engines - including the Mini.
And if you'd read any reviews of it in quality motor mags, you'd find
they'd said exactly the same.

Strange in the land of 'strict' emission controls that they allow such
nasty petrol. Nikasil engines run on UK refined petrol suffered no
problems.

 

You could make a start by reading up on the history of the Buick unit that
Rover bought for pennies.
David Hardcastle's 'The Rover V-8 Engine' would be a good start. Perhaps
it might help your tunnel vision.

 

Leon () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

People who *aren't* fat rich aging ignorant Americans in hideous tartan
designer shorts go on cruises? Blimey.

They must hide when the cruise ships come into port, then.

 

Come on, Dave. It was a joke from the OP BMW comment, as I know you
form another place (aab)!
