Thanks to our MG Swiss friends for the photos... more to come. Odd/interesting that they put a second valve cover over the first of the 8V engine. Note the twin spark plugs, and plastic(?) oil pump gear.

You are not, but this is a pre-production model, so it could be (and I suspect it will be true) that the final version will not have the inner 8V valve cover beneath. They do not seem concerned with the height.Mann said:Somebody correct me but, looking at the pics of the 1400, looks like the high valve covers are more a styling element than an engineering necessity. The plugs and boots are all located under these covers so oil must not be under there. Looks like they would have tried to keep the engine more compact without all that air space under the faux valve covers. Am I seeing this wrong?
