All seems a bit random!
Still, I guess if it is borderline fecked it might tip it over the edge. But so could a knackered viscous or any number of other things. I like the V8 but it is a bit hit or miss.

it was ,as was cylinder wall thickness, it varied around the circumference, the v8 block and machining certainly wasnt the lost precise it could have been, as a 3.5 with a 200 thou extra thickness it didnt matter

Mine has been on LPG since 2004 first with a Prins system then a AC stag and she's all original at 125k so i'm assuming mine was a lucky survivor
Mine is at 147k. I put a BRC system on it when I took ownership at 104k.
Not a single issue with the LPG.
with the Rover V8's if you go lpg......do not scimp on cooling system maintenance....keep it tip top, regular coolant changes and clean the front of the rad often, and ensure you keep the lpg system regularly calibrated (to prevent it running too lean) and you should be fine.

Note paragraph #5 - 'tuned up V8 Diesel engines' for the weight is my guess.

Think it was a slightly larger liner top that tapered into the block that stops the liner from moving downwards.
