Abstract: As early as 1984 it was clear that the major factors in the development of a competitive series of power units for the future would be the need for radically lowered emission levels coupled with high performance and fuel economy. These requirements would dictate a very advanced engine capable of a very much higher specific power, yet it must at the same time be highly reliable, clean burning, cheap to use and run. This article describes the design and development of the Rover K series engine.
