It's only the plastic dowels that cause the problems with K-series motors. As an engine in general, it's a bloody brilliant design, with no major flaws. Can be tuned to well over 240BHP with the HG dowels sorted and a few internal mods.

Lad I knew of had a K series at about 210BHP which had done about 90K as a daily driver in its state of tune, without a hint of an issue because he'd fitted a decent HG and locators.
