Huh, I always thought he 215 Rover was actually a Buick v6 with 2 additional cylinders. If I remember correctly didn't Buick actually build that v8 and put it in some of their cars at one time? In their day the Buick V6 was a motor to beat so I am surprised to hear about dependability issues with the Rover. I guess Rover can screw anything up if they are given the chance
